Dynamics Nav 2009 Drop Down using Field Groups

paramb · 2013-03-21

Hi All,

Thanks to the below blog I have gathgered a lot of ino about Drop Downs, but I have a question from Field Groups.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clausl/archive/ ... roups.aspx

Is it possible to have the drop down list to display different set of fields from different Pages, I can see that it is possible to add a 2nd line or 3rd line to the Field Groups with different Name. If not, what is the use of creating multiple Field Groups for a table.

I am using a table for multi-purpose to save creating new table for storing simple 2 or 3 fields data by segregating the data using a Type field. In short same table is used to store entirely different set of data. But the problem is when I want to display different set of data on lookup from other pages.

Did you ever find an answer to your questions? I was wondering the same . . .

It's not possible and not on the to-do shortlist that I know of.

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. NAV allows for multiple Field Groups, what is the purpose of multiple Field Groups?

Marije_Brummel · 2014-01-28

There is no purpose for that.

As it is used now it could have been just a property of the table.

John Bellinger, I don't have an answer till today. But now we have received some expert opinion!!...

Thanks for all the replies.

Apparently they saw something coming back in 2009. Turns out there is at least one other type of Field Group you can define: Brick, for use on phone client:
