PLPartBrk.bitFlag - can't save as visible and editable via a customization?

In the Price List screen I need a read/write user defined boolean in the PLPartBrk table displayed in the grid view(Parts tab, then Discounts tab) associated with a qty price break. I came across the bitFlag field and thought perfect, but for some reason I can’t make this field visible and read / writeable, the changes won’t save. I can change other fields via customization but there seems to be something about the bitFlag field… Any pointers on how I can get the bitFlag field to display and be editable or pointers on how I can add a user defined checkbox to this grid view?

1.) Make the bitFlag caption “Call Us?” and make it unhidden and editable.

2.) Save the customization

3.) Exit and reopen the Part List screen and find the Caption changed but the field is still hidden and read only?

My guess is that this is a special field used by the application, protected.
So… I’d probably try adding a new used defined field PriceLstParts table instead.
And if that new UD field doesn’t automatically show up in the collection, you may need to look at some of the examples for publish/subscribe when adding columns,

For anyone in the future reading this post, I needed to use UD Column Maintenance to add a new UD field. Then after hours I had to regen the data model on the database. It was all pretty easy/straight forward once I knew what needed to be done :slight_smile:
