Attribute ID Error

Hi

Unfortunately, it seems that Selector type Attribute is not available for Business Account Class as per below help articles.

Attributes

Business Account Classes

Hi ​@DasunPerera91 I am looking to use import scenario to update this field for all business account records. I was able to add the attribute to the BA screen, and when I tried using the import scenario, I received an error saying the class does not contain this attribute...

If selector attributes cannot be added to a Business Account class, is there another way to mass update this attribute? 

Thanks!

Hi ​@aminerd 

You need do the following, to be able to go ahead with import

• Alter the attribute to remove selector type and set it to any other allowed control type
• Then, you can select the Attribute on a Business account class.
• Once you select the Attribute on Business account class, you will be able to import the Attribute.

So, I do not see any option without removing ‘Selector’ control type on the Attribute.

Regards,

​@jzhu Can you please share your import scenario and the attribute ID screenshot.

​@DasunPerera91 HI! I have decided to create a UDF in customization so I can import into this field. Do you know how to change this field to a selector instead of the TextEdit? I have not been able to successfully save this field as a selector. Thanks!

Hi ​@jzhu,

To make a custom field a selector, you need to declare it with the [PXSelector] attribute in your code. This will automatically render the field as a selector control in the UI.

Hope, it helps!

Hi All, this is what we are using and it is accurately pulling the field with employee records as selector field.

[PXEPEmployeeSelector(Filterable =true)]

The custom field needs to be int
