how to add a display method to a field group ....

how to add a display method to a field group on table base under the
following condition ??

there exists a field on the table with the same name as the display method.

dragging the method to the fieldgroup will show the "this is a method icon"
but restarting axapta client or simly restoring the table object will show
you the field instead.

i think fields have a little more priority on that name mismatch.

any other ideas beside creating/using a new display method which simply
calls the original one ??


is this intention ??

Hi Douglas

This effect you write about is "normal", means Axapta cannot handle if you
have display methods with the same name like a field on the same table.

Just rename the method as they is unique and then the thing should run.

I think the problem is, that just name are stored and not the type of the
entry (field or method). But this must be anywhere in the kernel ...

Best Regards
Patrick

It can be that you have defined a table field group on the group in the
form. If so, it just rescans the table field group and removes any fields /
display methods / edit methods which does not belong to that table field
group.
