Move the position of a UDF created by an Add-on

[abb27]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to move the position of a UDF created by an Add-on? I tried moving one using the Edit Form UI but it moves back to its original position after saving.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You should change from the Add on better

Hello,

I am a SAP B1 developer and that is what is going on:

1 - B1 keeps record of the fields position and try to set the Top and Left on the screen when the form is loaded.

2 - The AddOn (from a third party, so I assume you don't have the source code) overcome the position recorded in B1 after the form is loaded

You have two ways to go:

1 - Request the owner of the addon to change the behavior

2 - Write your own code (a second addon) to manipulate the position of the fields created by the third party addon

Hope it helps

Hi @abb27 ,

The Addon framework, designed by a third-party technical team, may not be controlled by SAP standard settings when making changes or adjustments to the UI template.

Better if you could contact them to realign as per your requirement.

I think this depends on what exactly does addon do with that field. If addon only creates UDF, then it shouldn't affect the ability to move it (you should be able to do it with UI configuration regardless of how the field was created).

If addon also performs positioning of the field on your screen, then your only option is to change/deactivate addon.
