Hi All, Quick Q. Do any of you know if there is a way for a SuiteApp to create a field on a custom record that is within another bundle? I can do this in an Account Customisation SDF but not a SuiteApp SDF.

I have never tried this before. Are you receiving an error? Also, my gut instinct is that this probably should be an account customization rather than part of a suiteapp since it is referring to something non-native and not part of its own application.

Yep error is custom record already exists. I’m trying to add functionality on top of an installed bundle. The bundle is mine as well.
But don’t have direct access to the bundle to add this new functionality into it.

I would think in general it would be best practice not to intertwine the update of the previous bundle into a separate SuiteApp. There is a good chance the underlying SDF structure prevents it for that reason. However if you are still trying to go that route, all I can think is to check and make sure the custom record is completely unlocked in the account and that you can add the bundle as a dependency in the manifest

Yeah I get what your saying. Think I may have to do some thinking and see if another route is better.

Nothing like some heavy thought to get your week started.
