Select Variables Dropdown on Form

Does anyone have any idea how to get the "Select Variables" dropdown onto a form?   I see this in several places throughout the platform but have NO idea what this is and it is not obvious in Form Layout or Form Designer what it is.

Anyone ever integrated this into a custom form?

If I am following what you want there is a "Field Name" type field that may do what you want.   Go to asmt_condition.list as an example and click new and then set the table to say Incident and then click the drop down for the user field.   You get something like this:


find_real_file.png


If this is what you want, then your User field will need to have a dependent table associated to it and the attributes of this to make it only allow user based fields is:


allow_references=true,reference_types=sys_user



Hint: I often go to the Dictionary table and look at field types and then look at the attributes of the fields to help.   This is where I found the above example.

Perfect! Thanks!


Hi,

I have added a list type field on the form and I want the attributes to be selected for the 'list' type field and not for reference fields on the table.

 

Can u tell me the attributes for 'list' type that will do the same job as these attributes,

Selected variables are columns on your selected table.


You can configure dynamic reference field   on your form and show dictionary columns as per current table.

Sachin - Thanks!   I guess I'm just wondering how I get that element onto a form. I like how you can expand Reference fields, its a great fit for what I'm trying to do, I just can't figure out how to add that onto the form myself (and can't figure out how it got there based on existing forms that use it!)
