Re: UDO's UDF linked to a table: Displaying valid values rather than descriptoin

I'm also facing the same issue.

I believe the UDO form should function in the same way as all other SAP B1 forms. 
If the UDF is linked to a UDT, then the values should be available from a drop down list as with standard SAP B1 forms.

If I use the old style UDO 'matrix' style with drill down to the lines table, then the drop down works as required.

It doesn't work with the new 'header - lines' UDO form type.

Just found this SAP note:  1857246 with a workaround.

The scenario is as follows:

1. Create User-defined Table (UDT) List_A , (Object Type: No Object/Document/Master Data)
2. List_A has some values
3. Create UDT Test1, (Object Type: Document/Master Data)
4. Create User-defined Field (UDF) Field1 for Test1. Set Linked Table to List_A
5. Register a User-Defined Object for Test1 with a Header Line Style Default Form

There is not drop-down list for the field on the Default Form.

SolutionWorkaround As a workaround, you can use Screen Painter to edit the Default Form and create a custom Choose From List for the field.

1. Register the UDT (i.e. List_A) as a User-defined Object (i.e. List_A_UDO). In the ‘Modifying Services’ step, ensure you select ‘Find’.
2. Via Screen Painter, edit the Default Form.
3. Add a Choose From List linked to the target UDO (i.e. List_A_UDO). Note that the Object Type for the Choose From List should be set to the UniqueID (OUDO.Code) of the UDO. Set the Choose From List for the relevant field.
