VIP flag in list view for a dot-walked field

[Abbottronix]

On the RITM table in list view, a VIP tag shows next to the name on the requested for field if the user is a VIP.

The sc_task table doesn't have a requested for field, so we need to dot walk the requested for field from the RITM table, but when we do so, the VIP flag no longer appears. 

Is there any way to get the VIP flag to appear on the sc_task table, or to otherwise get a very clear and eye-catching indicator that a task is for a VIP in list view?

@Abbottronix 

that field on list on sc_task is dot walked from RITM field, so field styles won't work for dot walked field

This is OOTB platform behavior.

Hi @Abbottronix 

Field Styles (which control the VIP flags) do not render on dot-walked columns in a list view. They only trigger for fields that physically exist on the table you are viewing (sc_task).

Since you cannot put the flag on the dot-walked column, the standard "Best Practice" workaround is to apply the VIP styling to the Task Number or Priority field instead.

Note: You need to create a custom solution by creating the custom Requested For field to do this.
For Highlight the Task Number for VIP,

1. Navigate to System UI > Field Styles.
2. Click New.
3. Fill in the form with these values:

Field	Value
Table	Catalog Task [sc_task]
Field name	Number [number]
Value	javascript: current.request_item.requested_for.vip == true

Style: 

background-image: url('images/icons/vip.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 98% 50%;
padding-right: 20px;
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
