  • You open a Person type contact.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Change the value in the RunFromLink property of the T&o-dos menu item in the Contact Card form (5050) as follows:
    Existing value
    Contact Company No.=FIELD(Company No.),Contact No.=FIELD(FILTER(Lookup Contact No.)),System To-do Type=FILTER(Contact Attendee)

    Replacement value
    Contact Company No.=FIELD(FILTER(Company No.)),Contact No.=FIELD(FILTER(No.)),System To-do Type=FILTER(Contact Attendee)
  2. Add a new global variable in the To-do List form (5096), and then specify the variable as follows:
    • Name: Cont1
    • DataType: Record
    • Subtype: Contact Card (5050)
  3. Change the code in the Caption function in the To-do List form (5096) as follows:
    Existing code
    ...
    BEGIN
    IF Cont.GET(GETFILTER("Contact Company No.")) THEN
    CaptionStr := COPYSTR(Cont."No." + ' ' + Cont.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));

    // Delete the following lines.
     IF Cont.GET(GETFILTER("Contact No.")) THEN 
     CaptionStr := COPYSTR(CaptionStr + ' ' + Cont."No." + ' ' + Cont.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));
    // End of the lines.

    IF SalesPurchPerson.GET(GETFILTER("Salesperson Code")) THEN
    CaptionStr := COPYSTR(CaptionStr + ' ' + SalesPurchPerson.Code + ' ' + SalesPurchPerson.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));
    IF Team.GET(GETFILTER("Team Code")) THEN
    CaptionStr := COPYSTR(CaptionStr + ' ' + Team.Code + ' ' + Team.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));
    ...
    Replacement code
    ...
    BEGIN
    IF Cont.GET(GETFILTER("Contact Company No.")) THEN
    CaptionStr := COPYSTR(Cont."No." + ' ' + Cont.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));

    // Add the following lines.
     IF Cont.GET(GETFILTER("Contact No.")) THEN BEGIN
     Cont1.GET(GETFILTER("Contact Company No."));
     IF NOT(Cont1."No." = Cont."No.") THEN
     CaptionStr := COPYSTR(CaptionStr + ' ' + Cont."No." + ' ' + Cont.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));
     END;
    // End of the lines.

    IF SalesPurchPerson.GET(GETFILTER("Salesperson Code")) THEN
    CaptionStr := COPYSTR(CaptionStr + ' ' + SalesPurchPerson.Code + ' ' + SalesPurchPerson.Name,1,MAXSTRLEN(CaptionStr));
    IF Team.GET(GETFILTER("Team Code")) THEN
