Within the data dictionary you can create list type fields which are the alias of other list type fields. ExtraView will keep the values of the two (or more) lists synchronized. However, you can only edit values within the original list. If a field has other fields that are aliased to it, you will see a message when editing the list, similar to:
This field is also the alias for 'Customers', ‘OEM Customers’. Modifying the values in this list will modify all the values in all the lists.
If the field is the alias of another field, you are not able to edit its values. There will be a message similar to:
This field is an alias of the field named 'Customer'. You may not edit the list values for this field. Please go to the alias list to make changes to the entries for this list.
You can create an alias list for fields with a display type of List, Popup and Tab.
If you delete a list which is the original of a list with an alias, then the aliased list becomes an independent, stand-alone list. Of course, you may only delete a list when there are no values with data stored against it.
