How to add 'Active' Field on custom create table?

[Deepak Ingale1]

Hello,

We have created one custom table in the past. That table does not have 'Active' field like we have for other tables like Incident, task or client script etc.

is there any way to add this field now to that table?

Also we are in domain separated environment, so if it is possible to add it? does it have any implications in domain separated environment?

If you want the 'active' column to be inherited, you must do it by making your Custom table a child of the Task table and then inherit the 'active' column, but you can always create a 'u_active' column on your own on your custom table and replicate the BRs on this table that uses the Active column elsewhere, if at all that is your point of the question.

To set Task as Parent use the following link:-

Adding a True/False type of field should do that..

Thank you Subhajit and Kalaiarasan,

@Subhajit,

We have one table in prod where we need to add 'Active' field just like OOB. We ll work on your suggestion but will it affect the already configured fields if we inherit it from task table?

@Kalaiarasan,

If we add 'True/False' field, it will be added with prefix u_ , and we wont be able to leverage OOB functionality available with Active field.

I think we need to work on either of the solution suggested by Subhajit

Again, Thank you to both.
