Adding Columns into Collections with PML

get the data to array & add to gadget > !this.list1.setcolums(!array)

Hi. Thanks for the reply, however I don't understand.

How would I add a spref column, as an example, to the collections dialogue box  ?

Are you developing customized collection form?

No. I'm referring to the std collection form that Aveva supply. I get fed up with manually adding / deleting columns. That is why I'd like to be able to add them through PML

Better to create your own macro that you can just run anytime. Or we have this standard reporting available in PDMS where you can be able to modify or create a new template. You may export your created template and then run it by dragging the exported file into command window to collect the details.

in PML gadget u can use the list to collect all ur data, I am not referring to std collection because in E3D its developed using C# & PDMS is in PML however its not advisable to modified AVEVA form to avoid any error.

Thus, since u speaking about PML i assume u are familiar with thier gadgets, utilities & functionalities, my respond towards other solution which design ur own PML.

Take a look from this example:

Thanks for your response but that is not what I'm after

I understand what you're saying but you don't necessarily need to do that in other cases as they expose certain properties of the program that you can customise. I haven't seen any with regards to this
