[lopes80andre]

Hi,

I need to create a custom fiels in SugarCRM5.0.

I have search for information about create New Fields on Leads and populate to Contacts and Accounts but I can't find relevant information.

Where can I find information about this?

Best Regards, André.

You need to use the Admin -> Studio functions. The documentation for this will be in the Administrator's Guide online.

Hi there,

Please check out the Developer website; in particular, the Tutorials section walks you through the Studio and Module Builder tools, which allow you to customize the application (to add fields, for example).

Make sure if its a relate field you do the vardefs fix as noted in the developers instructions for relationships.

BTW, Susie, FYI for you and the developers. ANY relate type add via studio breaks Sugar big time. this includes 1-to-1 such as Lead to Lead as I did, Account to children (1-to-many) and others. I will be fixing the messed caused tomrrow since I have been sick and haven't yet had time to follow the instructions so well documented in the Wiki.

Thanks Paris

Hi, I have customized my sugar test installation with the code in the Tutorial CustomAgingField and works OK, "I think".

Ptemplin7, what is the Vardefs Fix? It is something I have to fix? I'm using the lastest version o sugar SugarCE 5.0.0b

Now I want to add new fields like: IP, lead_from_product, lead_from_section_site. I will have to use this Vardefs Fix?

Thanks for replys.

Best Regards, Andre.
