Custom Field (List) - Manual Typing & Paste

Any suggestion?

@hhy38 depends on the type of Custom Field.

Basically you can have:

• ReadOnly custom Fields - fetching info from other screens and showing as ReadOnly in the current screen
• Persistent Custom Fields → accept user input. Could be free text | numeric | true/false | ennumeration.

If your CF is a Persistent CF you should be able to insert/update/delete the value.

No, it is not possible.

@Marcel.Ausan We are using Persistent CF. We can’t insert a value if the CF has a List of Value option. Do you have any solution?

Hi @hhy38 ,

Custom field can either be text type field or LoV based. Both type of persistent field requirement can not be achieved by single custom field.

For LoV based field system would always check reference table.

Unfortunately, No. There are issues when pasting values to a LOV field. Those values ​​are not getting saved. Currently, it’s allowing to paste values using right-click context menu. This menu is planned to be disabled in UPD26. This ensures that pasting into these fields remains restricted.

You have to enter the values using the LOV. This is the only option. 

@dewelk Actually, we don’t want to save a value to the LOV. We would like to save time while inserting a record. Some users memorize the key value. So, they want to enter the value directly without opening a pop-up. I think this is also not possible.

​Hi @hhy38, Yes you are right, it is not possible to enter value in a type field without opening respected pop-up, though, things have become easy in Cloud since LoV type fields also works like an enumeration type field.
