...
There are two ways to define a set of choices for the drop-down lists:
- by defining inheriting values from a table and its columns as a sourceparent table (if current table is a child to another one)
- by creating a set of records for this field in the Choice Options dictionary
- by defining a source table and its columns in the Type Specification tab.
In the first case, the choice field inherits the values from a parent table. To second case, you may need to create a different set of choices , you need to make another set using if the column is inherited and has predefined options. To do this, please use the Column Override in the Related Lists area.
In the third case, the available options are taken from a particular column of a source table, as represented below:

After saving the record, click Insert and Stay, enter the translation in the Title field and specify the two-symbol name of the language in the Language field. Please note that the Value field has to remain unchanged. |
