Use custom column field in mobile selector

Question

I have created a custom field called 'UsrAlternateIDs' to be used for filtering in selector fields in page like this:

And I want same fields to be used in mobile app for selecting inventory item using the field 'AlternateIDs'.

This is what I did to use the field in selector for Inventory Item but it is not working.

Is there anything else that I am missing?

Looks like you should be using AlternateIDs instead of UsrAlternateIDs in mapping file.

Either sample from below should add the Alternative IDs column to Inventory Item lookup on a mobile device when placed in your Acumatica website \App_Data\Mobile\ folder:

by using XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sm:SiteMap xmlns:sm="http://acumatica.com/mobilesitemap" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <sm:Folder DisplayName="Sales Orders" Icon="system://Cash" IsDefaultFavorite="true" Type="HubFolder">
    <sm:Screen DisplayName="Sales Orders" Icon="system://Cash" Id="SO301000" ExpandSelector="OrderType" Type="SimpleScreen">
      <sm:Container Name="DocumentDetails" FieldsToShow="9" ContainerActionsToExpand="1" ListActionsToExpand="0" FormActionsToExpand="1">
        <sm:Field Name="InventoryID" ListPriority="98">
          <sm:SelectorContainer FieldsToShow="3">
            <sm:Field Name="InventoryID"/>
            <sm:Field Name="Description"/>
            <sm:Field Name="AlternateIDs"/>
          </sm:SelectorContainer>
        </sm:Field>
      </sm:Container>
    </sm:Screen>
  </sm:Folder>
</sm:SiteMap>

or with the use of MSDL:

update screen "SO301000" {
  update container "DocumentDetails" {
    update field "InventoryID" {
      selector {
        fieldsToShow = 3
        add field "InventoryID"
        add field "Description" 
        add field "AlternateIDs" 
      }
    }
  }
}

And this is how the final result should look on Android and iOS:
