Adding a Picklist to an existing iSeries field

[John]

I have a field in an iSeries file I have added a picklist to.

I checked it in and got no errors. But when it's displayed in the Popup editor, it just shows as a regular field and not like a dropdown.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just not supported for an existing iSeries field?

Did you select the 'VisualPicklist' to be the default visual?

In the Properties window, you should see a 'DefaultVisual' checkbox, make sure that is selected.

No, but I have now.

I checked it in but still didn't work until I recompiled the popup editor.

Thank you very much for your help .

Yeah, its easy to forget to recompile, I think the general advice is that anytime you change a Field, you need to recompile the components that use it.
