I don't know how it works on 5.0 but in 4.0 SP7 you have also to add some code to get it done. So for the activity bsp we added a combo box. you do that in se37 "CRM_ACTIVITY_DROP_DOWN_FILL" hope this help's

Hi,

In CRM 4.0 also we no need to add code unless until we have to pick the values dynamically at runtime.If we assign the check table it has to come in the dropdown.

1) Check the same field in GUI and verify the field has value help with the values from the table assigned.

2) If it is available in GUI then put a break point in fill_drop_down value method of the MAC and verify wether the class picks value from the correct table.

I still need to try the custom development option though.

I finally opened OSS and SAP came back saying that SAP consulting is required to be taken. They sounded like it is not possible through configuration.

Anyways thank you people for ur input.

Hi Chandrika and Manual,

Thanks for the reply,

I gave some values to the domain. I went to PC UI screen of the custome field. Still drop down did not got populated.

Am I missing something?

[Former Member]

Did you generate the layout?

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for your reply.

I went to se11 and got the structure of the field. Went to Entry help/Check tab of the structure. I changed mode to edit, but still check table field was un editable. I have developer access to the system. Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

Hi Parimal,

Check table shows up only if you have a foreign key from another table in your structure. In other words you cannot manually add a check table. What Manuel would have meant is the value table assigned in the domain, which I think you have already assigned it. Just for testing can you assign some fixed values in the domain and see if it comes accross?

Also, did you select the field group type for this field as DDLB (drop down list box)?

Hi again,

Look the field in your structure in se11 transaction and go to tab of check/search help and if the field havent the check table add to the structure.

Hi Manuel,

I did check the domain option in the field setting of field group and regenerated the layout. Still it is not showing values in drop down.

Is there something else I need to take care of.

Thanks,

Hi Bhatt,

You have to mark domain values in your fieldgroup sturcture for this field.
