Description
In a Reference View list, the reference icon does not appear next to new reference field.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to Incident > All.
- Open an incident record.
- Check that the location field is on the form. (If it is not, add the field).
- Right-click on the Location field label and select Configure Dictionary.
- In the Attributes field, remove tree_picker=true.
- Click Update.
- Next to the Location field, click the Lookup using list icon
(magnifying glass).
- Click New.
The New record [Reference List view] popup window appears. - Click on the Additional actions icon
.
- Select Configure > Form layout.
- In Create new field, add a new field:
- Name: u_country
- Type: Reference
- Table to reference: Location [cnm_location]
- Click Add.
- Click Save.
- Click Close.
The New record [Reference List view] popup window appears again. The reference icon should appear next to the new reference field named u_country, but it does not. - In the Application Navigator, type cmn_location.list in the Filter navigator text box.
- Press the enter or return button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Additional actions icon
.
- Select Configure > Form layout.
- Add the new reference field named Country(u_country).
- Click Save.
The field does show the reference icon. The issue only appears in Reference List view.
Workaround
This behaviour is expected and will not be changed. By design the [sys_ref_list] view does not support a reference icon, because its use would lead to open a further popup within a popup, which can not be supported.
