Display fields not showing up, but went ahead and tried it and it worked.

 

I am using Dynamics Ax 4.  I added the code below to a table

   1: display name ParentWebCategoryName()

   2: {

   3:     ptnWebCategories    ptnWebCategories;

   4:     name                name;

   5:     ;

   6:     ptnWebCategories = ptnWebCategories::find(this.webCategoryID);

   7:     name= ptnWebCategories.ParentCategoryName;

   8:     return name;

   9: }

In the past I thought that this would show up as a field when I added the table as a data source to a form.  I could not get it to show up for some reason but it did work, even in a grid..  Go figure..  I added a new field to a grid, changed the datasource to the table, changed the datamethod to the above method name, and it worked.
