How do I setup a EpiContextMenuKey on a UD table application studio erp-text-box so that I can right click the field and open with like I do in a classic form customization?

Oh boy are you in for a treat! I am in the process of writing up this exact scenario. I hate it. Hang in there I’ll have it by the end of the day. If you want, take a look here to see all the trouble we went through: Custom Part Context Menu Open With

One thing I didn’t go into here was the type of field you are right clicking on to get your context menu. In my case I was using part number, so I could use the Part context menu. What exactly are you trying to right click and open?

These are all UD14 characterxx or shortcharxx fields.

Thank you!

Never done it but I believe since these are UD and therefore not ‘Like’ QuoteNum, you do so on the dataView Column here:

Unless there’s another spot to define Like = QuoteHed.QuoteNum on a UD enabling you to show the full context menu for QuoteNum. (?)

Extended Properties to set “Like” Properties on UD14 Columns or any other out of box tables/columns:

UD Column Maintenance to set “Like” Properties on any user defined columns (which could be on any table like UD14, Part, etc.):

(Setting it on the dataview will override these I believe)
