List of values for custom field

[Nathan]

hi, I’m trying to figure out to how pull attributes of a LINK value into a custom field in a document. for example: I know Company is a Link but how do I get “company abbreviation”.

@Nathan,

you can use the add_fetch method in custom script to fetch the value from Company master.

e.g. frm.add_fetch("company", "abbr", "company_abbr")

I think what you need is in this documentation.

try company.abbr on options of company_abbr field

@almeidapaulopt

company.abbr

Hi @almeidapaulopt, yup. I did try that and it didn’t do anything.

well if you have done “reload” after that change, I have nothing more to help you
