BC: PageExtension - placing the standard field from standard group to custom group

Damjan

Hi All,

How to properly move standard field to custom group?

I am designing page as pageextension of standard page "Create Interaction". I know how to display custom fields on a page, but I just don't understand how to move standard field from standard group to new custom group that I placed on the page.

placing the field: "Cost (LCY)" on the pageextension of standard page "Create Interaction" is not accepted, since it is already placed on the standard page "Create Interaction".

You can move "Cost (LCY" with code like:

pageextension 50000 "XXX" extends "XXXX"
{
    layout
    {
        movefirst(General;"Balance (LCY)")
    }
}

or you can create the field, and set a different name like:

pageextension 50000 "XXX" extends "XXXX"
{
    layout
    {
        addfirst(General)
        {
            field("PREFIX-Balance (LCY)"; Rec."Balance (LCY)")
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
            }
        }
    }
}

Both ways have Pros and Cons,
Moving base app fields:
Pros:
- Do not add more load to page
- Field is not display multiple time
- Page look cleaner
Cons:
- If MS remove the field from the page, your extension will break
