How to make new Field Type

[Neeraj Sharma10]

Hello Experts,

I have this requirement in which i need the functionality of 'journal' field type in 'HTML' field type, basically i need functionality of both in a

single field type, But We( Admin role) cannot make new field type i.e. cannot make entry in 'Field class' table.

So, Is it possible to make new field type ?

Journal is just a long String type, HTML is also a String type, both are text on database side. So, having a String field in this case is probably enough for what you need.

By functionality of 'journal' type, I mean "fields allow and store input, but they do not display the combined inputs."

And look like 'HTML' field type means we can add images, bold, underline the input text.

You can create like this

go to sys_glide_object.LIST--click on new all the fields will be read only.

Make this ACL sys_glide_object inactive.

Once you done the changes . Make acl active

As per my knowledge it is not good to create new field type.

Anyone done this to create a yes/no boolean that still uses the checkbox option rather than choice?
