New table entries not showing up as options in Custom Field dropdown menu

Irish Noble

I am trying to add new table entries to a Custom Field in RENXT.

From web view, I click Settings > Tables. I select the table I want to add entries to, click "New Entry", and add the entry.

This is all I've had to do in the past, but now I'm wondering if I'm missing a step? When I go to a constituent record and add a Custom Field, I cannot find the entries that I just added in the dropdown menu. I have no idea what else to do. Anyone else having this issue?

You are mixing up Tables and Custom Fields, which are different. If you are doing Custom Fields, you need to go to Custom Fields, not Tables.

It's easy to get confused between Tables and Custom Fields. Sounds like you created a Table instead of a Custom Fields.

This is my flow when I need a new custom field when I want the value field to be from a Table: Go to Settings / Custom Fields, click to create a new Custom Field. It will ask for Data Type which will be Table. Then for Table Name, click +New and add the Table Name there. That will populate it under Tables, so you can then go into Tables and add whatever drop-down menu items you wish to see in that Table. Hope that helps!
