Create new field in task table

[snowuser111]

HI,

I want to create new fields in task table. Reason is so that i can use in all other tables which is extending since almost all tables extends from task.

But how do I create any new field in task.I went to tables & columns, task->edit table->inser new row but it seems it takes pretty long time and gets cancelled .

Any idea how can I get this done please.

Thanks

Hi Snowuser,

Go to the table "task.do" from the navigation filter->Then on the header->Right click->Personalize->Form layout->Now create the new fields and save the form.

Hi Snowuser,

have you tries to create them from the sys_dictionary?

Please keep in mind that if your task table is very big, it may need to run a long time. In particular if the database is being modified, you may find that the field is created and you may need to refresh the view once the backend operation has finished to actually see the new field.

What version are you using? The task table was flattened in Dublin and this means that there is a lot of data too.

Kind regards,

Alexandra
