Descriptions on Custom Fields MDGM

We are implementing MDGM 7.0.

We have created some custom fields using custom data elements by appending to MARA before adding them onto the data model.The fields required a list of values of codes next to descriptions, so we have created search helps to facilitate this.


The fields can be successfully added to the UI and the search help retrieves the list of values as expected.

However we have a requirement to add the description (from the search help) on the UI. We have noticed that some fields are pulling through text fields automatically and are able to be selected to display on the UI;but on many, they are not.

What are we missing that means that we are unable to display the description on the UI? How can we pull through the description onto the screen (i.e. MATKL on the standard UI does this among many others)

Problem solved.

I had to create a text table. Using a text table means MDG automatically pulls the texts through to be used in the UI.
