Go to the option above or below the position where you want to add the
new option. Change the alias and value and click the 'Add After' or 'Add
Before' Button.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

The method you suggested will change the ID for the options below in the
drop down list. Actually i need to add the option such away that it should
not disturb the other options ID.

ID as in Enumerated value ??? Enumerated value will always change if you
are adding an option in the middle/start of dropdown.

For Example:

Status is a drop down list field
having attributes:

Value Alias Value ID
open open 0
Fixed Fixed 1
Closed Closed 2

i need to add Resolved in between the fixed and closed. As the option
closed has ID 2 after adding this option will move to 3 . this will make
impact for the excisting data. so i need to add the option Resolved must
have ID 3 and should not disturb the ID of the option Closed.

Thanks for the suggestions provided for my previous queries..

This ID is generated by Remedy and is based on position of option in the
drop-down list. Since this a system generated value, it cannot be
changed. So adding the option in between will change the ID of 'Closed'
We faced a similar problem once and ended up modifying the workflow.
I would suggest adding the option at the end of the list. If that is not
feasible u might have to modify the workflow.

** One other solution is to hide the status field and create a new charachter field (display only) with a menu attached. You can sort the menu on what ever you like.
On display of the request you set the display only field to the value of the status field and on submit and modify you'll populate the status field with the value of the DO field.

This way you can order the field in the way YOU want without affecting the order in the enum field.

You can also use this method to 'hide' existing enum values without affecting the numbering.

Hi,

maybe archgsel.exe is what you are looking for. Check out the download
section of Remedy Supportweb. I don't know whether it still works on 6.x
servers. For me it worked just fine in the 4.5.x and 5.x days.

Regards,
Ablert

Shaun,

Something to keep in mind and also check throughout workflow is, some qualifications use < or >. For example, 'Status' > "Fixed", which would include "Closed". If you added another option to the end of the list then 'Status' > "Fixed" would also include "Resolved".

Since in this example, "Resolved" is normally less than "Closed" you may need to update the SQL tables/views directly after inserting "Resolved" before "Closed"... replacing values of 2 (Closed) to 3 (the new value of Closed).

One of the v7.0 enhancements is that we will be able to give enum fields non-consecutive numbers, so that we can insert values later.
