Create relationship from built in module to custom module

[mikesolomon]

I have created a new module to add job numbers

I then created a relationship to Accounts

Then I added a relate field to the module called account and that gives me the search screen and works a dream

What has me stumped is I want to be able to add a jobno, with search to a task

I tried creating a relationship from my new module to the activities module and then went to add a relate field in Tasks but my job module is not in the module list

How can I do this?

I am using Sugar 5.0.0b

Hi, mikesolomon

I tried this below, it works fine to me:
Add your custom modules list into the array 'record_type_display' => '<custom module>' => '<your module name>',
within <sugarcrm home>/include/language/<language>.lang.php file
reload it, then these modules should be shown on the list when you use relate function.

Thanks - I'll give that a try

I got it working per instructions in http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p...s_in_Sugar_5.0

Your way sounds a lot easier

Now found the best way to do this is use the dropdown editor & edit record_type_display

Yes, that way you edit the dropdown inside <sugar-root>/include/language/<language>.lang.php via GUI.
