Field (R)

Specifies the field in the parent business component that Siebel CRM examines for the empty condition before it does the copy operation that the parent pick map specifies.

Each pick map object definition includes a child object definition of type Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull. If you add one of these child object definitions to the pick map that constrains the picklist, and if the constraining value is NULL, then Siebel CRM ignores the constraint. If a picklist field that is not empty exists, then this field returns records and Siebel CRM displays these records.

If the value of the constraining field is empty, and if the values of the fields that the Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull constraint pick map specifies are empty, then this Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull works like a copy pickmap. To disable the constraint if the constraining field value is empty, you can use a calculated field as the field for the constraint pickmap.

Siebel CRM disables the constraint only if the following situations are true:

• The field that the parent constraint pick map references is empty.
• The field that this Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull references is empty.
