picklist and custom field
Posted: 25 Apr 08 8:28 AM

I added a field CONTACT:Gender and an associated picklist. The picklist will not work (will not show button) for any user other than ADMIN. I found that if I add the field to a custom table CONTACT_SEI:Gender the picklist works fine for all users.
I'd REALLY like to have gender in the CONTACT table (make's sense). Any ideas why this won't work?
Thanks,
Ron |

a couple of things:
When you add a field to a base table (like Contact) the client application won't pick it up unless you exit out completely then log back in, causing the behavior you are experiencing.
When you add a field to a base table (like Contact) you may need to set the field level security to read/write for the field, sometimes it defaults to readonly or oven no access (I have found no rhyme or reason for this as it happens only intermittently), causing the behavior you are experiencing.
Make sure the picklist's readonly property is not set to true (checked) and, if it is, make sure the hidebuttonifreadonly property is set to false (not checked)
One of these things should be the solution to your problem. |

There is a known defect when adding a field to the base tables. If you add only 1 field, even if you change the security on the field, it won't actually change it in the database.
There are two workarounds #1 - Add another field to the base table, and this will straighten out the field level security, or #2 - change the USERDEF flag in the SECTABLEDEFS table to 'F'.
It's still a known defect.
Thanks for your help Matt!
