ExternalType Property
Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.
Specifies the type of the original table field in the external database.
Specify this property if the original type is different from the type that you specify in the Type property. This means that you can use a different type for the table.
Applies to
- Table Field
Property Value
- String
- Picklist
Note
The field values are dependent on the providers for the TableType to interpret the process. The different providers use it differently. For example, MicrosoftGraph vs CDS.
Syntax
ExternalType = 'String';
Remarks
This property is used when you specify CDS, MicrosoftGraph or ExternalSQL in the TableType property. These tables use a different SQL Server connection than the normal tables in the Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV database.
