Changing displayed title from "ID" to "name" in custom ItemType

Offline Krepop 6 months ago

Hello everyone,

I've recently created a custom ItemType in Aras Innovator. By default, when I open an instance of this ItemType, the displayed title is the item's ID (which is keyed_name property and it's reflecting the ID value).

What I'd like to achieve is to have the title display the name property instead. Essentially, I want the keyed_name for this ItemType to mirror the name property rather than the ID.

How to adjust this behavior? Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi Krepop,

In the properties of your new ItemType, there is a property on that property called keyed_name_order. To have name be the keyed name, you'll just type 1 into the corresponding property. By default the ID property has a value of 0, so you might need to remove that as well. You can join multilpe properties by adding incrementing numbers in mulitple properties as well!
