Hey Dan, Been there – wished that.. From the Dev Studio, no there is no way to create that overlay for all the 99 views..
I would do this though if you have the luxury (time) to ‘experiment’ a.. Take an xml def file of the form you want to perform those modifications on.. b.. Create an overlay for one of the views and save the form. c.. Take an xml def file of the form that you just modified with an overlay for that one view.. d.. Compare the difference.. e.. Recreate that difference for the other views on that xml def file. f.. Check if importing the modified def file creates those overlays for the other views.. Good luck :-) Joe From: Daniel Bloom Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 1:42 PM Newsgroups: public.remedy.arsystem.general To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Overlay follies: Selection fields ** Others have probably come across this but I thought I’d mention it because it surprised me, Although I think I understand why: ARSystem 7.6.04 P2 (I would assume all previous versions, don’t know) In order to modify a selection field, i.e. add/modify/delete selections, You need to create an overlay for every View first. Not too bad except with every language there is one form with 99 views to create an overlay for. If someone knows a work around, like being able to say: “Create an overlay for all the views please” Please let the list/me know. Why this behavior: I assume because it wants to let you add/remove labels and choices for each language View individually, Which is a good thing and makes sense, it just isn’t complete in terms of usability and I have no evidence that you can actually do that since I haven’t tried yet. ….
