Hi
We are upgrading to Cloud and are in the process of converting Custom Menus to Commands. We are having a problem with custom commands that call ExecuteQuickReport where one of the parameters is a reference field.
In IFS app10 when we call a quick report in a custom menu we can map Project_id to CF$_project_id, even if cf$_project_id is a reference field. In Cloud this still works but opens the quick report with the objkey instead.
Is there a way around this behavior, how do people handle this when upgradgin
Best Regards

IFS Cloud: Reference field mapping for Custom Commands
+20Hi Nicklas,
This is a known issue and may also be considered a limitation.
However, there is a workaround to meet this requirement. Consider the example below:
Create a custom field of type Reference (let’s say, Project Id) at the Purchase Order header level to store the Project ID. Then, add another custom field (let’s say Ref PRJ Id — set as read‑only) at the Purchase Order header as well. This second field will simply reference and display the value from the first custom field, and it does not need to be exposed on the UI.
When configuring your Quick Report Parameter, map it using this second (reference) field.
attaching some screenshot for reference.
Second field configuration.
Hope this helps.
