I made simple form for Departments table in hr schema .... and when I made the department_name column as a poplist it doesn't work correctly , even after I add this trigger "WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE" on the item ( department_name ) :-

add_list_element('DEPARTMENT_NAME',1,:DEPARTMENTS.DEPARTMENT_NAME,:DEPARTMENTS.DEPARTMENT_NAME);

same problem happened.
so ..... what suppose to do until the column work correctly ?

please have a look to the attachment to understand what I mean.

Create a 'record_group' based on 'department_name', then an LOV which uses it and returns a value to the item in which you are interested, and then assocaite that LOV with your item.

Go to the property sheet of the item which is displayed on the canvas and set its 'List of Values (LOV)' property to the LOV that you have just created.
