Setting Value for Document ID field

[mangesh9]

Hello,

Through scripting I am setting value(sys_id of record from XYZ table) for field of Document ID type while inserting record in that table, not sure how to point the XYZ table so that document ID field will allow to set value, can anybody suggest please?

Hi Mangesh,

A document ID field really needs a dependent table field. The two go together. The table field is of type "Table name". See the dictionary entry for sysapproval_approver table's   document_id field as an example how this is done.

You should define table name before setting value in document id type field.

Write script like :

current.u_table = 'XYZ ';   // Write table name of the XYZ table and field name in place of u_table.

current.u_doc_id = "SYS_ID" ;// write sys_id of the record in place of SYS_ID

current.update();  

Thanks,

Mihir
