In the New Record Template (NRT), the *UNIQUE_LIST* option dialog doesn't provide any sort of explanation on what a user must do in order to enter a value different than those in the list. The way it works is if they pick [Cancel], then they get prompted to enter a value.What I would like to see us do is determine a way to instruct the user on what they need to do in order to enter a different value.
Keith told me that the RECORD UNIQUE_INDEX command is behind this option, and with that command you can't specify a title for the dialog... but with the RECORD SEARCH_UNIQUE command you can specify a title for the dialog.
So he was thinking that if the RECORD UNIQUE_INDEX command could be changed to allow a custom title. By having this capability, you could specify a title for the dialog such as "Select Value or Pick Cancel to Enter Value".
