  • 1.  Creating a large string attribute that pulls data from a sub-object

    Posted Dec 02, 2016 03:14 PM

    Hello,

     

    This may sound like a newbie question.

     

    I have created aggregated attributes in one of my objects that pull numeric values from a subobject. The problem I am having is that I also need to pull status reports that are large strings in the same subobject. I find no attribute type that allows me to do this.

     

    Can anyone help me? It would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer not having to create a big SQL query for just one of the attributes.

     

    thank you!

    You can use "large string" or "string" (2000 max).

    Other than that, I'd suggest to create a report to pull larger data and display in the screen.

    This technique would work on the object EDIT page (but not on list view though) - it allows us to put "anything" that can be rendered by the browser (e.g. large string text) on the layout-edit pages;

    However I would think that formatting how this would display nicely would be a big problem.
