Hi ​@Shneor Cheshin  and  All,

Requirement:

We need to add a search bar at the top of the Product Screen.

Since adding a direct search bar didn’t work, we used a lookup-based approach:

  1. We created a custom screen named test_prod_aish with Screen Type: Standard.
  2. This screen contains a lookup field that, when clicked, opens a list of all products where users can search and filter.
  3. At the bottom of this screen, we have two buttons:
    • Plus (+) Icon → Should open the CProductdetail screen.
    • Next (>) Icon → For navigation to the next step.

Expected Behavior:

When a user clicks the Plus (+) Icon, the CProductdetail screen should open.

The CProductdetail screen (also Screen Type: Standard) contains the following fields:

  • Model ID (with a lookup filter)
  • Serial ID (textbox)
  • Label (textbox)
  • Request ID

Issue We Are Facing:

  • While attempting to attach and link the CProductdetail screen to test_prod_aish, we encountered an issue:
    • Standard screen types cannot be linked to other Standard screen types using the "Link Screen" dropdown.
    • The dropdown only displays screens with types like List, Other, etc., but not Standard.
  • If we change the screen type to "Other", we are unable to add lookup fields, which is a required feature.

Need Assistance With:

  • Successfully linking the CProductdetail screen (Standard type) to test_prod_aish, so it opens when clicking the Plus (+) Icon.
  • Finding a way to linking of two Standard screen types.
  • Enabling lookup fields if we use Screen Type: Other.

We have attached screenshots of the issue for reference.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

@rishi.gupta 

As far as I know, you cannot link 2 standard screens.

How did it go with the Windows mobile client? Did it reveal anything?

Cheers!
