Hi,

Is it possible to duplicate an IFS pre built LOV? We’re trying to re-create the base Characteristic LOV on the Service contract, realistically we’d want it to also use the parameters that it seems to be triggering when the LOV I utilised. This is a custom piece of work IFS created for us however, we’re wanting a duplicate of this field for other purposes.

 

The attachment has screenshots of what we are tying to achieve.

 

Thanks

Helen

@Charith Epitawatta, Perhaps this is something you know of similar to duplicating EE windows...?

Hi @Nalaka Samarasinghe, not quite sure about this one, but posting my best guess here based on the description.

 

@Helen Smith, if you just need a duplicate of the same field, would a Read Only custom field that fetches the value from the original field suffice? If so, you can read about “Read Only” custom fields here:

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/foundation1/040_administration/220_user_interface/020_custom_objects/040_custom_fields/020_create_custom_fields/020_add_edit_readonly_attribute.htm

 

Or do you want it to have a different value that would persist in the database? Then you should probably look into “Persistent Reference” type custom fields. Read the documentation here:

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/foundation1/040_administration/220_user_interface/020_custom_objects/040_custom_fields/020_create_custom_fields/010_add_edit_persistent_attribute.htm

 

In persistent reference type you can select which LU you want to reference, what List of Value (LOV) view to use and how those references should be displayed in your field.

You would have to try these out and see if they match your requirement as there are certain limitations in Custom Object Framework. 

Hope this helps!
