Creating a Fixed Choice List 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 fixed choice list field for a child object in Application Composer.

   Step 2

3. This is the third 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.

   Step 3

4. If you know how to create a fixed choice field for a parent object, you can skip this demo. The  process of creating fields for child objects is exactly the same.

   Step 4

5. You begin by navigating to the Fields page for the child object and you click the Create button.

   Step 5

6. Click the Create a custom field button.

   Step 6

7. We are creating a fixed choice list field, so we select the Choice List (Fixed) option.

   Click the Choice List (Fixed) option.

   Step 7

8. Click the OK button.

   Step 8

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

   Enter the desired information into the Display Label field. Enter

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

10. Now let's configure the list of values.

     

    We want an activity to have a status of either open or closed.

    We already created a lookup type with these values for the trouble ticket object so let's reuse it.

    Click the Search and Select Lookup Type button.

    Step 10

11. We'll search by the Lookup Type name.

     

    Enter the desired information into the Lookup Type field. Enter

     a valid value
     e.g.
     "TT_STATUS"
    .
    Step 11

12. Click the Search button.

    Step 12

13. Click the OK button.

    Step 13

14. When users create an activity, we want the status to be set to Open automatically, so let's add a default value.

    Click the Default Value list.

    Step 14

15. Click the Open list item.

    Step 15

16. We are done.

    Click the Save and Close button.

    Step 16

17. The field is now listed on the Fields page.

     

    In related demos, you'll learn how to expose the fields you created in the UI and we'll test our child object.

    Step 17

18. In this demo you learned how to create a fixed choice list field for a child object in Application Composer.
