Configure The Dictionary Entry Table

Hi All,

I want to add a column to the 'sys_dictionary' table.

Are there any bad consequences that can be cased by this?

 

Thanks:)

I would not recommend doing that.

You can filter and get to the table and identify any task record, you can come up with any logic that runs for change request.

But where should I store the regex for each field?

I would suggest to create a new table to store your regex in. Add a table and field_name fields. Maybe, depending on your requirements even add a condition field.

This way you can use it on every table and field without having to touch the dictionary, or even another OOTB table in the system.

@Snow Tomcal ,

 

Here i suggest to strongly use system property which is very efficient , you can create a key:value pairs and update the sys properties when every you have a new entry. You can call this sys property anywere in your code easily...

 

i hope this help...
