Custom Field Not Showing in Add/Edit

[theStorminMormon]

I think this is fairly basic, but it's not working. I simply want an extra field to accounts. So I used the studio to remove the SIC (to make space) and then created a new custom field (Carrier) and added it. I saved and published. When I click on existing accounts (I actually only have 1 test account at the moment) I see "Carrier" where it should be located.

However if I create a new account or edit the existing account, instead of "Carrier" I get "SIC Number" again. I'm not sure why.

I'm using Sugar 4.5.1b runnong on OpenSuse 10 but I haven't messed with much of anything relating to the OS so I'm not sure that it's relevant. I've searchd the wiki and the forums, but haven't found this problem anywhere else.

I have gone so far as reboot my linux box, but this doesn't help anything. I've also logged directly into MySql to look at the tables. I don't know where the custom field is supposed to show up, but it hasn't been appended to the accounts table, and the custom_fields table is still returning the empty set when I run "select * from custom_fields;" In Sugar, however, if I go into "view custom fields" it does show up, so I'm completely lost at this point.

OS: OpenSuse 10
Sugar: 4.5.1b
Webserver: Apache 5
PHP: 2
MySql: 5.0.26

OK... my mistake. I now see that there are buttons for the various views, including "edit". So I need to make the change more than once.

Problem solved.

I would still like to know where the custom fields show up, however.

The custom fields are stored in tables named <object>_cstm, e.g. accounts_cstm for custom fields of accounts object.

The index to this table is named id_c and references the field id of the related basic object.

I just had the same problem to find Detail View, Edit View, List View and Search Form to be links .
Not simple to find it coming from SalesForce...
