Export of picklist values - Custom Object

Hi,
I just tried to export picklists and noticed that customobject picklists are not exported. Is it possible to export the custom obj picklist values? if yes, How?
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Venky,
I tried to export 'Picklist Values' in Admin Data Record type and could not find the picklist values of the custom objects in the exported list.
Thanks,

Read picklist values in narrative reports

hi
In narrative report i'm using one picklist field and one currency field.
Reports i created is dynamic report and it works fine for different SR.
the report should hold the value chosen in picklist.Unfortunately it always populates the same value i.e value chosen first(i.e not updating proprely whenever i edit the picklist )
i.e picklist value remains static always doesn't change on user selection in reports
How to solve this.

I have this same question. I note that the Custom Object uses, for instance, 03_09 to refer to the 9th item on the picklist for Custom Object 3 instead of the actual name of the field. This causes problems when items get added/removed to the picklist and the field becomes, say, 03_08. Do I have to edit the report every time the picklist changes?

Export Custom Object search results

I've selected my search criteria in one of my customer objects. The result is a set of records containing specific data items that I need. This data is not available in the contact record. I need to export just this set of records and not my entire Customer Object universe. Is that functionality available? Any help is appreciated.

Method 1:
Custom object > Reporting (drop-down from the top-right) > Custom Object Record Field Values (or percentages)
Select your field, click "Select"
Click into any field values that interest you
Observe an exportable list of records
(Limitation = cannot use wildcards)
Method 2:
Insight. This requires the analyzer license. Custom Object Record values are not subject to the normal 24 hour delay that almost all other data is. At most there is a ~30 second delay between CDOs and Insight.
Ensure that the Custom Object Record and the fields from it you want are available in Insight. You want to include your unique field because the values are deduplicated in Insight otherwise. Build a report that includes the unique field and the field your value of interest is in. Filter on the column of interest and run the report. Export as desired.
Method 3:
API. From any open Eloqua window where you've already logged in, go to this URL: https://secure.eloqua.com/api/docs/dynamic/rest/1.0/reference.aspx
(This is not for the tame and feint of heart.)

Unable to set up the default value in custom object 10,related item section

Hi,
Please help me out for the below issue
Custom Object 10 we renamed to Quarterly Broker Review .In Quarterly Broker Review there is a related item section 'Activity'.
In Quarterly Broker Review ,Activity related Section ,After clicking on The 'New Task' button 'Account Name' field in Quarterly Broker Review(Parent ) should be prefilled in the Activity Section(Related Item Section) in Account Name Field
'Account Name' field is a Picklist Read Only field.
Since it is a picklist read only field i couldn't write the expression in the 'Activity' Related section under 'Account Name' field
you can also help me by reaching at '[email protected]'
Thanks,
Srinivas Merugu

Hi Srinivas,
As you know, you can refer to a field in a different object by using JoinFieldValue function. But this function is not available for all the object references. If you refer online help for JoinFieldValue function you would notice that from activity only CustomObjects 1,2 an 3 can be referenced using this function.
If this is possible for the activity and CustomObject 10 then you go to the field named Account Id in Activity object and set a default value. I guess in the parent object "CustomObject10" Account Id will also be stored in "Account: Integration ID". So this field value can be copied into the Account Id field of Activity.
Instead you could write a web service program to achieve this.
Thanks

Querying for custom picklist values

Hello all,
I have created a new field on my opportunity type called "Industry" and gave it picklist values. However, the system is not allowing me to query for the values using the Picklist web service. Am I missing a step here, or does the system not allow querying for custom picklist field values? I can get to certain lists of picklist values for Opportunity (Type, Probability, some others) but not the picklist I created. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hi,
Find integration tag for custom field in Field Setup. When you call getPicklist method, pass three values like Object type(ex: Lead), integratin tag for the custom field, "" ( this is language, this field is no need for English languague)
Hope this willl work

Set Default Value based on Field from another table for a custom object

I'm trying to set the default value on a custom object field to the value of an account field. I have tried the syntax 50 different ways, and just am getting no where. The account field label displays as DBA, the integration tag is ltDBA_ACCT, and it shows up in reporting fx area as Account.Text_22.
The custom object field I'm triying to update is also called DBA, which was originally the "NAME" required field. Does the table name, Account, have to be included? Do I need a function in front of the field?
I have been updating the external ID using the row ID with syntex <ID> (Less than ID greater than) so I know it is possible to set the Default Value, but <DBA>, <ltDBA_ACCT>, "Account"."DBA", and so on just don't not work.
If anyone knows how to enter this I'd really appreciate the help.

Ok, so if you want to default a field to the value from another object, you have to use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure that you do.
Next, this will only work as a default if the record is created from the object that you wish to join on because a default works at record creation and the ID needs to be available for it to work properly. It will not work if you choose the related object record after the custom object record is created. You could set the value as a post-default, but that does not seem to meet your requirements.
The syntax for the Default Value would be as follows: JoinFieldValue(ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).
In your case, ref_record_type is '<Account>', foreign_key is [<AccountId>], and field_name is '<YourFieldName>'. The best way to determine what the field name is would be to create a new workflow for Account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to pick your field ("DBA") from the list. The value that is returned by the expression builder should be placed in the field_name variable in the JoinFieldValue function (minus the brackets and in single quotes).
Give this a shot and let me know how you do.

Picklist web Service Custom Object

I am using the Picklist web Services and am trying to use them against a custom Object. They work fine for standard objects such as account but are failing against my custom object. I have tried calling it "Custom Object 01", "CustomObject1","connection" etc etc. I get the feeling that these web services do not work against custom objects... Does anybody have any experience to the contrary????
createSession();
picklist.Picklist pick = new iLink.picklist.Picklist();
pick.Url = session.GetURL();
picklist.PicklistWS_GetPicklistValues_Input input = new iLink.picklist.PicklistWS_GetPicklistValues_Input();
picklist.PicklistWS_GetPicklistValues_Output output = new iLink.picklist.PicklistWS_GetPicklistValues_Output();
input.RecordType = "CustomObject1";
input.FieldName = "IndexedPick0";
output = pick.GetPicklistValues(input);

Thanks in advance for your comments...

Hi Sean,
Yes - I raised with Customer Care and the naming needs to be "Custom Object 1". Thanks for your response.

Return value of Custom object in HashMap

I have created a custom object (TableValue) that should represent the key value in aHashMap. When reading data from a file, the custom object should be either a String or a Double. I want the custom object to return the proper type. That is, I am trying to avoid the use of an Object as a key value in the HashMap. However, I want TableValue to return the proper value. Some example code is listed below. My question is this, how do I get TableValue to return the proper type?
Thanks
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Table {
HashMap<TableValue,Frequency>table=new HashMap<TableValue,Frequency>();
     public void count(TableValue aElement){
          Frequency fq=table.get(aElement);
          if(fq==null){
               fq=new Frequency();
               table.put(aElement, fq);
          }else{
               fq.add();
     public double getCount(TableValue aElement){
          Frequency fq=table.get(aElement);
          if(fq==null){
               return 0.0;
          }else{
               return fq.getFrequency();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Table tab=new Table();
          tab.count(new TableValue("s"));
          tab.count(new TableValue(5.0));
public class TableValue {
     private double dValue;
     private String sValue;
     private boolean isDouble=false;
     public TableValue(Object o){
          try{
               if(o.getClass().getName().equals("java.lang.String")){
                    sValue=(String)o;
               }else if(o.getClass().getName().equals("java.lang.Double")){
                    dValue=(Double)o;
          }catch(ClassCastException ex){
        //next two methods not correct, can not overload like this
     public double getValue(){
          //want to return a double
          return dValue;
     public String getValue(){
          //want to returna string
          return sValue;
public class Frequency {
     private double total, cummulativeFrequency;
     public Frequency(){
          total = 1.0;
          cummulativeFrequency = 0.0;
     public void add(){
          total++;
          cummulativeFrequency++;
     public void addCummulativeFrequency(double aLowerCount){
          cummulativeFrequency += aLowerCount;
     public double getFrequency(){
          return total;
     public double getCummulativeFrequency(){
          return cummulativeFrequency;
}

OK, thanks to everyone for your help. Here is what I have done. I added equals(), hashCode(), and compareTo().
My compareTo() method seems a bit sloppy. Basically, I want Strings to appear before Doubles in a sort. Is there a better way to do this?

          Frequency fq=table.get(aElement);
          if(fq==null){
               return 0.0;
          }else{
               return fq.getFrequency();

          int i=0;
          for(Iterator iter=table.keySet().iterator();iter.hasNext(); ){
               keys[i++]=(TableValue)iter.next();

I have Custom object 7 as Related Information to campaign object. I want to pull data from campaign to Custom Object 7. I tried with join field value function, but i am getting error.
Is Custom object 4 to Custom Object 15 not exposed with join field value function.
Can we pull data from child to parent or it is always other way ????

Hi,
JoinFieldValue is not supported in Custom Object 04-15.

How to export and import customized Object

Hi All,
I would like to communicate with system clipboard by importing and exporting the Objects.
Assume that i have a RectangleBean object containing x,y,width and height properties and respective setters and getters.
i am drawing the rectangle object by using the RectangleBean object values.
now i want to export and import the RectangleBean object to system clipbord to draw a rectangle on other window when the user performed paste functionality. In other words communicating the RectangleBean objects between the two windows.
Thanks in Advance

That's not going to work: if you are talking past the bean object into the clipboard and have something like MS-Word use it as a way of recreating your graphic using your bean... no, that's just not going to happen.
If you are saying you want to create another of your graphics on another Java window in the same JVM session, then just pass a reference of the window's graphic context to a setter and have at it.
If you're talking about some JEE functionality, then you're going to have to use RMI or some other standard method to get your object over to the other box or it's effects.
In other words communicating the RectangleBean objects between the two windows.Not by cutting and pasting to the clipboard.

In the code above, lr_current is bound but lv_excl_group_ui returns no value. Without this value, the code beyond cannot return any picklist values ( lt_ddlb ).
I have checked the config and indeed the exclusion group has BP roles assigned to it.
How can i fix this issue?
Thanks a lot,

How to link custom object 05 to accounts

Hi,
I used custom object 05 to create the "Forecast" object. In order to create the desired reports I need to link the cusom object to Accounts. I already found out that there is Read-Only Picklist available that searches in the Accounts and I use that I get the desired result. But unfortunatly, the users have manually select an account everytime they enter a forecast. Is there was to automaticcaly fill in this field to create the relationship between account and forecast? I tried entering a default value in the "Account" filed but it seems to be an standard field and the option is greyed out.
The forecast is created under opportunity, so I can get the "Opportunity: Account" field filled in automaticcaly but that does not result in a relationship between account and the forecast.
Any advice?
Kind Regards
p.s. I included a screenshot they might clarify my problem a little bit more: http://i.imgur.com/Drh7P.jpg

Hi,
JoinfieldValue will not work for Custom Object 4-15. You will have to use web services to achieve your requirement.

Data import/update on Custom Objects

Hi,
We are using the Custom Object1 for capturing site data within an opportunity. Since the custom object does not have capability to check for duplicates, the users have now entered data into this object which have lot of duplicates and also the data quality and integrity is lost. I am trying to see if there is an option to export this data and reimport them back after cleansing the data.
I then realised while importing custom objects, the only available option is to use external id.All the site that have been entered by the users do not have any external unique id. Also there is no option to do a mass delete records within the custom object1.
I understand that the only option to cleanse and reimport them back into ondemand is using web services. I want to use web services as last option.
Is there any other option to reimport them back into ondemand using the import utility after cleansing the data.
I would like to know what is the best practice while using custom objects. Is it advisable to populate a default value in the external unique id for custom objects while creating new records. If i had populated some value in the external unique ids while creating those records, i would have had the option to update the existing records. Now i don't even that option.
I am looking for some suggestions for this issue.
Thanks
Swami

Bobb,
I exported the data and mapped the row id to the external unique id. Like i said before, the external id is blank in crm ondemand when it is created. We did not have any default value specified for the external unique id.
When i tried to import with overwrite option, it does not find a match.
I get the following error message as i expected.
Row Id: AEMA-EYGFE     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Row Id: AEMA-F8CPC     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Row Id: AEMA-12CLIA     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Unless i do a web service update of External Unique ID in crm ondemand, the import option will not work.
Thanks
Swami
