Hello All,

I have created a new field   as "Table" whose Type is "String" and want to display the "Task Type" under choice field. So,to display all tables, clicked on Choice List Specification >> Select Choice as "Dropdown with None >> Choice Table as "Task" >> Choice Field as "Task type".

But I am not able to see "Task Type" under Choice field but this field is exist on task table. Can anyone please suggest what needs to be done?

Hello Harish,



This is workaround solution which I found during an investigation.

1) Navigate to the Dictionary Entry for choice_field.


2) Clear out the Attributes field which is "fieldChoicesScript=DictionaryChoiceFields,". Once this is done, you should be able to populate the all values in Choice field.

Hi Shraddha,



navigate to System Definition > Dictionary and give the table name Task. you can check whether it exists or not. I you dont find the field just right click on choice filed configure dictionary and add a choice.

Thanks Harish..On Task Table, we have Task Type field and all values are available but my concern is, I am not able to see "task type" field.

Thanks
