Add UET field to DocumentObjects

I have tried adding a new UET field to DocumentObjects and then setting it as a bound property on the extended IDO for DocumentObjectAndRefViews. I then have a process that writes a value to this UET field but it is not working. If I use the same process to write to this value to a standard property on the IDO like "Description" it works without issue. It is like it won't let you write to an added property on this IDO. Has anyone else ran into this and have any suggestions?

I want to make sure I'm correctly understanding what you did. You created a UET (User Extended Table) field, but then bound it to the IDO? I've never done that, as the UET fields show up in the IDO without having to bind it. Now, if you want the property to be visible at the IDO level on the IDO form then yes, you would need to bind it. Some random things to look at/check:

1. Did you check in the IDO?

2. Did you do an extend & replace on the IDO? Are you referencing the correct IDO?

3. Did you clear the server cache and end user cache?

I regularly add the UET field as a bound property on the IDO as I find it easier then to write methods/code. I have no issues with the hundreds of other UET fields that I have added. There seems to be something special about the DocumentObjects table that doesn't recognize UET fields?

Totally understand the personal preference, that's why I was asking the question. Did you do an Extend or an Extend & Replace on the DocumentObjects IDO?

If you extended the IDO "DocumentObjectAndRefViews", that IDO's primary table is "DocumentObjectAndRefView", which is a view. If UETs were added to the table "DocumentObjects", I think you will need to alter the view to reference the UETs added to "DocumentObjects".

Views and tables have definitely tripped me up on more than one occasion. Definitely a good catch and suggestion!

Extend and Replace IDO for DocumentObjectAndRefViews

OK. I am in the cloud so any idea how to update the view?

Stephen Cena

There should be a form called View Management. that should let you regenerate the views.

Ran View Management for all tables and it updated nothing. Thanks for the suggestion but still no go.
