Title: Re: [support] Regarding importing payments with custom
Hi Dave!
I don't know how to change the script order. I think that is what I need help with.  Also, if I define fields while on the imppay screen can I then define fields on the payments screen and have them be the same?  It seems like I should be able to create them someplace and then pull the fields in layout mode, but they don't show up in any list even though I created them in the imppay screen?  Also, where and how do I change the script to make this work?
 
Thanks!

Subject: [support] Re: Regarding importing payments with customization

Hi!
I have been using Ebase since its launch and there are some things that I still don't know how to do.  I am doing a migration from an old database into Ebase for an organization here in Seattle and we need to add about 12 fields to the payments_103 screen because it is information that needs to be tracked.  Setting up the fields is no problem, but getting if from the imppay_103 (importing payments) and then get the information to show up on each person's payment entry screens is impossible right now.  I think it has something to do with the relationships.  We checked all the fields in the imppay_103 that EBASE uses and it seems that the new fields we create all have the same properties, but when we import and then go to the payment entry screens we can then place these fields in the layout on the payment entry screens.  Not sure why they don't show up.  Everything actually shows up fine when we do the import on through the Import into Payments function/process in Ebase, but then those fields don't show up anywhere else.  How can I make the custom fields that we created in the imppay_103 import file show up in the payment entry screens after we have imported. 

First, you'll have to create the new fields in the paymnts_.103 file as well as imppay0_.103. You've got them into the import file, but in the next step, there is no where for that data to be placed. Second, the script that transfers the data to the payments file (Import from Imppay0) stores the import order, which at present doesn't include your new fields. You'll have to edit the script to include the new import order.
