dictionary override on an extended task table column

[patricklatella]

I have an extended Task table and want to do a dictionary override to change the reference table for the "location" field.   What do I enter in the "Reference qualifier" field to make it aim at the table I want it to reference?     thanks!

The location field is already "aiming" at the cmn_location table.

The reference qualifier only acts as a "filter" to the entries retrieved from that table when someone does a lookup.

Hi Patrick,

If you want to change the reference table you can create a script include & glide record the necessary table. Then you can call the script include in the reference qualifier something with javasscript: script__include();

Thanks,

You cannot override the table being referenced. You can either change it at the base table (which will also affect all tables that extend it) or create an extra field if you want to have a reference to a different table for just one child table.

Hello Patrick,

You cannot change the reference table name via dictionary overrides. Can you provide some additional details on what you are trying to accomplish? Details are encouraged.
