Second Item Choose from List on Item Master?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to add a custom 'replacement item code' field on the Item Master form.  I've added the custom field to the XML file to add fields to the Item Master form when it loads.  I also have a choose from list defined and a choose selector button.  The choose selector button is defined as follows:

<item uid="S_PTI_RItC" type="4" left="R191" tab_order="0" width="16" top="R15"

height="16" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="6" to_pane="6"                         

disp_desc="0" right_just="0" description="" linkto="U_PTI_RItC" forecolor="-1"

backcolor="-1" text_style="0" font_size="-1" supp_zeros="0"

AffectsFormMode="1" relativeuid="10002044">

<AutoManagedAttribute>

<Attribute id="2" description="editable" modeAdd="0" modeFind="0" modeOK="1"/>

</AutoManagedAttribute>

<specific image="CHOOSE_ICON" ChooseFromListUID="CFL_SEL_RItC1" ChooseFromListAlias="ItemCode"/>

</item>

I have code in the background to catch the choose from list event and I am setting the item code and item name returned from that into my custom fields. The problem is, not matter what I do, my custom fields will not set and the Item Master's main item code and name change to whatever I've selected in the choose from list.  Is there a limitation so you cannot have an additional item choose from list on the item master form?  I've spent days on this now and have tried everything possible. It makes no sense.

Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.  My full XML is below.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Instead of CFL, why dont you use Formatted search ?

Simple and without extra coding.

Hi Edy,

There should be no reason I can't use another item choose from list unless there is a known conflict with having a custom one on the item master form.

The users need a choose from list because they won't know which item code they want to use so a formatted search isn't sufficient.  They need a choose from list to browse items to find the one they are looking for.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Formatted Search works the same functionality as CFL. It can show you all the item codes to browse and select.

While for the CFL, I have never try your situation.

I will try it and post it here.

BTW, which SBO version are you using ?
