Dot walking a custom field from cmdb_ci_pc_hardware to alm_hardware table

[SamiranD]

How to dot walk a cmdb_ci_pc_hardware table custom field to alm_hardware table ? But I do not have any reference field of cmdb_ci_pc_hardware in alm_hardware. Ihave only configuration item field(cmdb_ci)field.
Any idea how to do this?
I do not want to create a new field.

@SamiranD 

if you enable this property "glide.ui.list.allow_extended_fields" then you can see child table field on parent list

I still didn't get what's the use of this field and why to show on parent form?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

I want to show a field of cmdb_ci_pc_hardware table in alm_hardware table? Does this make it a field of child table to be visible on parent table?
One same thing is already done in the form, but I am not able to figure out how to do the dot walking here.

I will enable the property and check if it is working or not.

Hello @SamiranD 

It is just a sort of workaround, you can create a custom field on the alm_harware table, and with the help of the insert/update business rule on Hardware table, you can set the value to that field as per your requirement

If my response helped, please mark it as helpful

thanks!

Hi @SamiranD,

To answer your question directly using the screen shot you've provided, in the 'Reference field', this should be updated to be pointing to the 'Configuration item' table (cmdb_ci table) or the 'Personal computer' table (cmdb_ci_pc_hardware) directly depending on your requirement.

However, please note, both @Ankur Bawiskar and I are trying to point out that the 'Configuration item' field which already exists on the Out Of Box form and Asset table will already provide this link and relationship for you.
