Hello! 

I am trying to add an attribute to a business account class and am receiving an error message. 

Here is the attribute.

Here is the business account class I am trying to add the attribute and the error message 

'Attribute ID' cannot be found in the system.

It also does not appear in the search box 

Please let me know how I can properly ad this attribute to the business account class. 

Thank you!

 

Hi

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

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 ePXSelector] 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
