Hirerachy list field in another entity

[criffoh]

The Account entity has industry field and is possible use in another like Lead. I would like to know how create these kind of fields.

I see the file /client/modules/crm/src/views/lead/fields/industry.js but I don't know how use it in another entity or create another field list and use in more than one entity.

I don't think a Foreign field will work here. I also don't think we can do a "Share list" field either, there is a few extension where it is made possible.

If you just want another Industry field in Lead (or similar to Industry field).
Just go to

Admin > Entity Manager > Lead (click Field) > add fields > Enum > Fill in the details and save.

The industry is just a E-num field. Here is some extra info for you using the demo version.

https://demo.espocrm.com/?lang=en_US#Admin/fieldManager/scope=Lead

Click "Add Field" from there.

And this is the Industry (default field) in Account: https://demo.espocrm.com/?lang=en_US...field=industry

The difference between Enum and Multi-enum? Enum you can only select 1 option. Multi-enum you can select multiple. For example something I would do here:

Category (Enum): Food & Beverage
Secondary Category (multi-enum): Restaurant, Pub, Bar

or keep it simple:

Category (Enum): Food & Beverage
Secondary Category (Enum): Restaurant

Thank, but if you see, Accoun industry field has data in options and Lead hasn't, but when you create a Lead, industry filed has data. I would like to know how to make it.

Would just be a guess but if you modify the Industry in Account, the Lead will use the same list. Be sure to the clear cache, rebuild and refresh your website.

That you would have to dig into the coding for. Sadly I don't know how to do it. I know the free Real Estate extensions also do it for Property Type, perhaps looking through these file might be easier than looking through EspoCRM.
