How to display the line item group line number in the line detail.

This document outlines the implementation approach for displaying the line item group (LIG) line number in the line detail layout. This enhancement lets users easily reference and correlate the line detail with the appropriate line in the LIG.

To display the line number in the line detail view, follow the steps below. This requires using a line detail layout (for example, default_layout_linedetail).

1. Create a custom read-only line-level field to store the row number.
   • Variable name: txn.line.custom.rowNumber
   • Default value: {{txn#rowNumber}}

   

2. Add the new field to your line detail layout to make it visible when viewing line items.

   Ensure that the field has the setting "enableMarkdown": true. Additionally, to display the row number on the LIG line, add the "showLineNumbers": true property to the lineGrid layout object in the non-line detail layout (or layouts).
