Is there any way to access the 'sys_update_set' table on a reference field?

Hello,

I need to reference the local Update Set table on a form. However, when I create a new reference field, there is no option for the sys_update_set table under the 'Table to Reference' Dropdown list.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Charles

Hi Charles,



I think the important thing is to not create it using the 'form layout' link, but to create it directly via the dictionary. Go to 'personalise -> dictionary. In the list click on the 'new' button and create the new reference there. The sys_update_set table is available to be selected there.

Table name is 'Update Set' and yes it is possible to create any custom field pointing to that table ...

Hello Thijs - Thanks very much, you are correct. The 'Update Set' table is not visible for some reason when creating the new field, but becomes available once created and amended through 'Personalise Variable'.



Thanks again,
