Iteration Issues

I’m not sure how I would go about populating it through the BPM.

Here’s what we found out after lots of help - the less-visible, but simpler, more-efficient, and more-stable option:

Step 1: Identify the BO method that is used to populate your grid
In this case, it was ARInvoice.GetRowsCustomerTracker

Step 2: Create a Post-processing directive and add the field to each row of the result dataset
Here’s the code we wrote:

If there are any rows, I grab the additional fields from the database up front in a single query (along with the key fields so I can match the data to the row it belongs in). Then for each row in the dataset, add the new field (or fields). You can see here that I have added UD Field Character01 and gave it the name “ARCode” - you can name it whatever you want (stick to alphanumerics, of course).

Step 3: Add the field to the grid columns.
Use the field name you gave it in your code - ARCode in this case.

That’s it.

Obviously, not every solution fits every situation, but I’ve customized several grids since learning this method two days ago - instead of fighting with events and remaking whole sections of screens. If you can, use what is already there!
