I’m trying to turn OrderType from a selector of every order type to just certain order types for our customer portal. I’ve been trying to change it to ComboBox since those options can be changed, but every time I save the Screen Editor, it goes back to Selector. What would be the best way to go about this?

Hi,
I don’t think changing the control type of the field will be what’s needed in this case.
The order type field uses the PXSelector control which is used to select a key value from a record saved in the database, whereas the dropdown list is typically used for a list of values predefined in code.
You probably need to look at using the PXRestrictor attribute similar to what’s mentioned in this article.

The PXRestrictor allows you to restrict the values available for selection in the selector control based on the conditions you specify.
In technical terms, it adds a “WHERE” condition to the SQL query that is generated to select the available values for the Selector control.
Does this make sense?
