Creating a Long Text Field for a Child Object

Steps:

1. Hello, my name is John, and today we are discussing extending  applications using Application Composer.

   Step 1

2. In this demo, I will show you how to create a long text field for a child object in Application Composer.

    

   You can skip this demo if you know how to create a long text field for a parent object. There's no difference.

   Step 2

3. This is the second in a series of related demos that show how to create a child object, add fields to it, and display it in the UI of a parent object.

   You can create child objects to add functionality to both custom objects and to existing application objects.

   Step 3

4. You begin by navigating to the child object you created.

   Step 4

5. You click the Fields link.

   Click the Fields link.

   Step 5

6. And click Create.

    

   Click the Create a custom field button.

   Step 6

7. We are creating a description field, so we select the Long Text field option.

    

   Click the Long Text option.

   Step 7

8. Click the OK button.

   Step 8

9. We enter the field name users will see in Display Label field.

    

   Enter the desired information into the Display Label field. Enter

    a valid value
    e.g.
    "Description"
   .
   Step 9

10. Now let's enter the width.

    Enter the desired information into the Display Width field. Enter

     a valid value
     e.g.
     "100"
    .
    Step 10

11. Notice that the application copied the display label into the Name field. This is the internal name that isn't seen by users and must be unique.

    Step 11

12. We don't need to make any other entries for this field so we are done.

    Click the Save and Close button.

    Step 12

13. You can see our field listed on the Fields page.

    Step 13

14. In this demo you learned how to create a long text filed for a child object in Application Composer.
