Dictionary Override related list is missing on all custom fields created.

[Anish Reghu]

Why does Dictionary Overrides related list go missing in all custom fields created on a table? I created few custom fields on the Release table. On all the fields, Dictionary Overrides related list is not visible.

NOTE: Configure--> Related lists shows 'Dictionary Overrides' as Available.

I have my own doubts if 'Dictionary Overrides' is a feature available for OOTB fields only?

Please suggest!

Hi Anish,

Dictionary override would only appear if a field is from parent table. For e.g. phone number field on incident form is field on incident table & hence no Dictionary override exists while Assignment Group is actually a field from Task table but from Incident form & hence Dictionary override exists.

Thanks,

So if I need to rephrase that then Dictiinary Override is possible only for base table fields. Hope that is the scope of Dictionary Override.

This is the definition "Dictionary overrides provide the ability to define a field on an extended table differently from the field on the parent table."

Hope that answers your question
