Drop down in customization

In the properties of the drop-down there are Col<1-4>ManWidth. Typically
these are set to zero I would think to have the system handle these
automatically.

You can enter your own values in here, though, to increase or decrease
the size of the drop-down.

If you wanted you can also display multiple columns of information in a
single drop-down as well by playing with these settings.

Can you advise how to do this? I had someone ask me recently about doing
this on the Issue Material screen because the Part Number is being cut
off and I haven't had time to play around with it.

Hi, we're on V8.03.405. i need to add a dropdown field to the customer master screen I know how ot get to customize the screen but what i need to find out is how to add a drop down field using character10 as the ud field.
I have added a ultracombe box to the screen . I added the three entry I want user to select from in the NEw Combo list item. and link the data source to customer and Datafield to character10 but it is not working for me. Could someone point me to the right direction.
Thank you
Larry
I would be surprised actually if the large character fields (Character01, etc.) work with UltraCombos. What happens if you use a ShortChar instead?

You can increase the display size of the drop-downs to be different than
the size of the object on the form. Make the actual drop-down part
larger or smaller as needed.

Also, with ultracombos, you need two columns - one to hold the id field
and one to hold the description. In your case they are the same but you
still need to tell it where the display value is.

My guess is that if you go into the data through a baq that there is a
value there, but when you go to view it, there isn't anything to display
because that part of the ultra combo hasn't been set up yet.

I think that towards the top there is a setting for "description" put in
the name of the column to store the description, but not the name of the
table.
