Table Specific Information

The add-in uses the SugarCRM API to process WHERE clause conditions that are built with the following columns and operators:- Module supports the = comparison operator.
- Field supports the = comparison operator.
When querying DropDownValues, you can retrieve label values for an existing dropdown list associated with a module. To return these values, specify both the Module name and the Field that contains the dropdown item (both are required).
The following query is processed server-side:
SELECT * FROM DropDownValues WHERE Module = 'Accounts' AND Field = 'myCustomDropdown_c
If you want to create a custom dropdown list, it must be linked to a custom field that belongs to the module.
Note: If necessary, create a new custom field by navigating to Admin Panel > Studio > Accounts > Fields > Add Field.
Set the field type to dropdown, and create or select the custom dropdown list.
