Insert Lookup Show Hidden Registry entry

Specify whether Hidden values in a Lookup List are visible to users when in New and Edit modes.

If a Lookup Registry entry sets the permission for a field as ReadIgnore or WriteIgnore, values added to the field's Lookup List will have the Hidden flag set to Yes: users will not see these Hidden values when viewing the Lookup List. The Insert Lookup Show Hidden Registry entry can override the Hidden flag so that these values are visible to a user / group / all users in New and Edit mode.

Usage

This Registry entry can be assigned to users and groups:

Key User User Group Group Group Group
Key 1 User User Group Group Group Group
Key 2 user user group group Default Default
Key 3 Table Table Table Table Table Table
Key 4 table Default table Default table Default
Key 5 Insert Lookup Show Hidden
Key 6 column or Default

User user Table Default Insert Lookup Show Hidden Default boolean
Group group Table table Insert Lookup Show Hidden Default boolean
Group group Table Default Insert Lookup Show Hidden Default boolean
Group Default Table table Insert Lookup Show Hidden Default boolean
Group Default Table Default Insert Lookup Show Hidden Default boolean

where:

column

is the back-end column name for a Lookup List field; or use Default for all Lookup List fields in the specified table(s).

boolean

is true (entries with the Hidden flag set are visible when viewing a Lookup list in New and Edit modes) or false (entries with the Hidden flag set are not visible in New and Edit modes).

Note: In the absence of this entry, a setting of false is assumed.

Examples

Any entry in the Lookup List associated with the NamFirst field in eparties is visible while in New and Edit modes. This includes entries that have the Hidden flag set:

Key Setting
Key 1 Group
Key 2 Default
Key 3 Table
Key 4 eparties
Key 5 Insert Lookup Show Hidden
Key 6 NamFirst
Value true

The equivalent of the System default setting of false:

Key 1 Group
Key 2 Default
Key 3 Table
Key 4 Default
Key 5 Insert Lookup Show Hidden
Key 6 Default
Value false
