How to Override Choice List value in Dictionary overrides?

[waqas3]

Hi

I am creating a dictionary override for 'Priority' field from 'task' table to 'Defect' table. Priority field is a dropdown field with --None-- and i want to have priority field in defect table without --None--. I cannot find the way how to change dropdown list without '--None--' in dictionary override.

Any idea's

Is the reason you want the "without NONE" because you want to force the field population, or you want to force a default value?   Either of those can be accomplished while still having the "none".   May have to do that too, because I don't think there's an override for that property.

Reason is client/Customer requirements

I under your point and that's the choice i have but just trying my luck to see if there is work around availabel..

Waqas,

If I may, if all you know is "customer requirement" then you're too far into the development options already.

If you take a person who's never seen a car and asked them how they want to travel from Chicago to New York, they'd probably talk in terms of wagons, number of horses, amount of supplies to bring, etc.   Meanwhile you're sitting on the tarmac with a fully fueled jet and wondering what everyone will want for lunch after you land.

People only describe things within a context of a reality they already know.   Before you start developing custom stuff (which has to survive longer than you), you need to understand what the business objective is behind the request.

I think there is no way to do that.

A workaround is to override the field to set it mandatory.
