Form Data Source Field Method Override D365FO


Form Data Source Field Method Override D365FO



In this demo, I will show to create an extension class of form data source Field class and override method through COC.

Here is the annotation code to create COC



[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(FormName, DataSourceName,DataFieldName))]


In this demo, we are using the HcmWorker form and creating Extension of DirPerson Data source field Personal Title..

[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]

In actual code, you can find the method in the Hcmworker form 


 [DataField]
        class PersonalTitle
        {
            public Common lookupReference(FormReferenceControl _formReferenceControl)
            {
                return DirUtility::buildAffixReferenceControlLookup(_formReferenceControl, DirNameAffixType::PersonalPrefix);
            }

        }


Here is the code through which we create extensions.

[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]
final class Demo_Extension
{
}


Here is the code through this we override the method.


[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]
final class Demo_Extension
{
    public Common lookupReference(FormReferenceControl _formReferenceControl)
    {
        next lookupReference(_formReferenceControl);
        return DirUtility::buildAffixReferenceControlLookup(_formReferenceControl, DirNameAffixType::PersonalPrefix);
    }

}

Now perform build in sync on your module. enjoy
