Quick Fields and External Tables

asked on March 20, 2015

Hi All,

 

Bit of a strange problem.

 

I've got a repository setup with a field linked to a metadata DB setup through external tables in the admin console. The field is set as a text field.

All is well in the client and in the admin console the list loads perfectly. However, when I look in Quick Fields the field shows as a text field, not a drop down list like in the client. How do I get Quick Fields to be a drop down list?

Previously this was done through a stored procedure in the dbo.propdef table but we have migrated this over to external tables as part of a recent upgrade. It worked using the stored procedure in spname column but doesn't work when using the new external tables feature. I've tested both QF8 and QF9 and the results are the same.

 

Any ideas?

Hi Chris,

Quick Fields does not support dynamic fields (fields linked to external tables) yet. It is being looked into for the next version though.

Regards
