Questions and Answers

Need additional fields to be added that are not currently part of the base templates to leverage base Upload/Download templates to create specifically required templates by function.

For example, to leverage the ITEM_MASTER_DATA template to support Mass Item UDA Changes, the new template (created from the ITEM_MASTER_DATA template) 'TD_ITEM_UDA_UPDATE' includes the following worksheets:

- ITEM_MASTER
- UDA_ITEM_LOV
- UDA_ITEM_FF
- UDA_ITEM_DATE

You want to add fields/columns not currently available within the ITEM_MASTER_DATA template.

Consider the UDA_ITEM_LOV worksheet (included yet modified as part of my new 'TD_ITEM_UDA_UPDATE template). There are the following fields/columns:

- ACTION
- ITEM
- UDA (numeric value only -> no description)
- UDA Value (as above)
- New UDA Value (as above)

You want to add a description field for the UDA, UDA Value, and New UDA Value columns. The description fields should be drop-downs, displaying the actual description of the value entered. Assume UDA 25 = Season. You want the new UDA Description field to show 'Season.' Upon selecting Season, the UDA column would auto-fill 25 in the UDA column.

The same logic would need to apply to the remaining UDA fields/columns in the worksheet.

How to add new fields/columns that are not previously available to a template?

Given that the drop-down selection lists for UDA LOVs are not possible, how can you add additional fields?
