Title: Importing Datasource Descriptions
Post by: dpccgf on 09 Jul 2014 09:08:55 PM
All, I would like to try the solution of moving a description into the Screen tip in FM, but trying to find information on how to import the description from the Datasource when I bring in the table and fields.  Any links, documentation, ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I wrote the attached document many (many, many, many) moons ago. It explains how to use language translation functionality to bulk load screen tips. This isn't exactly what you requested, but it is the only method I know of to get them in there.

If something new has come up in more recent years perhaps someone else will post another option.
