#11 feature request: custom fields for documents

[Ingo Belka]

Dear Jürgen,

a couple of days before I did the update to version 37.4 and everything is working very smooth.
I wonder if you could imagine, to implement two custom fields for documents like you did for inventories. It would be very helpfully to us, to have such fields to save the original date of a document, if we store old ones, and to keep the date of the cassation (deletion) of a document.

Kind regards
Ingo

Hi Ingo,
I am pleased to hear from you! Yes, I think it is possible to implement the custom fields for documents in the next release.

Best regards
Jürgen

Solution of this ticket:
Like for inventory objects now also for documents up to two extra data fields can defined by user. Displayed name, format (text or date) and the position in output pages can be be set.
In a document edit page position 0 means, that the field is shown at the top of the page, position 4 defines that it is displayed at the bottom. In list views 0 means left side and 4 right side.
Defined option lists will be shown as input fields in document masks for search, create and edit.

Hello Ingo,

thank you very much for your feedback! That is good motivation for me.

I would like to give a recommendation for the setup :

In future update position 0 of document extra fields is planned to be displayed only if also status is displayed. This way an additional attribute for status like "Status changed at" could be defined and would not be displayed for documents without status. 

So if you do not use the document status field please use position 1. The extra field will also be displayed on top of field title. 

All the best to you!
