I have a report that is filtering email recipient selections based on Contact.Salutation (according to the report writer it is from the CR module). I can't for the life of me find this field in Acumatica. So two questions:

1) Where is this field located?

2) How would I go about finding it on my own in the future?

 

 

Thanks,

I was just looking for [BillingContact.Salutation], but I assume it is almost the same thing. 

Another questions would be, what if I or can I change this to another vaule?

The reason I'm curious is because we have run into problems now and again where the report will pull a different name into the field.

I just found out that in my case, they dropped that field entirely and renamed it. No real reason to do so, other than breaking users' reports. I'm none too pleased about it honestly. 

My field WAS:

Contact.Salutation

My EXACT SAME FIELD is now:

Contact.Attention

 

Mayhaps yours is a similar case?

@michaelhansen I actually just saw the same thing from @wyatt.erp's post ( https://www.augforums.com/forums/everything-else/2019-r1/#post-4321).

Now I'm even more interested in what why I'm getting an old and even deleted contact to fill in the report field.

Just wanted to update everyone that I changed the Report to .Attention and the problem went away. So there is something about the the old .Salutation that was linking to old contact information.

@abrunner Thanks for the update. Seems to me like Acumatica should have higher priorities than to break back-end field names that no one sees on the front-end.
