Display list value in UDEF field in Sales on ticket in Service

RE: Display list value in UDEF field in Sales on ticket in Service

Hi Patrik, no it is not, unless the bug has been fixed.

You can display the ID of the list item, but not the value.

Previously I've created a textfield on the contact which I have updated from a trigger.

RE: Display list value in UDEF field in Sales on ticket in Service

So you have a list and a trigger takes the wanted value and copies it to a text field for this purpose?

RE: Display list value in UDEF field in Sales on ticket in Service

Yes - basically you have a trigger that listens to the "After save" function, and grabs the value after each save and just do an update on the x_field.

If you need a specified code for this, I can make you one :)

So it has to be scripted?

If you have an example code, I would gladly receive a copy :)

Create a trigger on "After saving company"

Something like this:

EventData ed = getEventData();

String contactId = ed.getInputValue("ContactEntity.ContactId");
String listValue = ed.getInputValue("ContactEntity.UserDefinedFields.SuperOffice:1:DisplayText");

SearchEngine se;
se.bypassNetServer(true);
se.addData("contact.x_field", listValue.parseSOMultiLanguageString(-1));
se.addCriteria("contact.contact_id", "Equals", contactId);
se.update();

Where SuperOffice:1 is the ProgId for the field and x_field is the extra field in Service
