Get custom field value beside account_name from popup

[zacc]

hi,

I have a custom field in Accounts module named source_code_c. I would like to get back the value of this field beside account_name when user pick up an Account in Account popup of Cases module edit layout. In Cases I created and put on the edit layout the same field. The popups serach contains this new field as a search criteria as well.

Hi Zacc

You need to add the attribute 'displayParams' on the field defs at the editviewdefs.php:

             'displayParams' =>
            array (
              'field_to_name_array' => array(
                'id' => 'accounts_tenyaccounts_ida',
                'name' => 'accounts_test_company_name',
                'source_code_c' => 'source_code_c',
              ),
              'additionalFields' => array(
                'source_code_c' => 'source_code_c',
              ),
            ), 
  

Cheers

thanx the answer. it works (and sorry, I've found your same advice in other threds just had not understood)

but I still confused.
how was filled the account_name earlier if there's no 'displayParams' =>... code in the editviewdefs.php file?

and why wrote you these strange values:
'id' => 'accounts_tenyaccounts_ida',
'name' => 'accounts_test_company_name',
I had to modify them to:
'id' => 'account_id',
'name' => 'account_name',
