I want to create an application that is not an extension, but uses a table that is an extension. However, I get an error upon saving the application. Can you explain why I cannot build any app I want over an extended table?
Hi Jillene,
The platform does not let you do this because extension metadata objects (like a Table Definition) are not stand-alone metadata objects that can be used by themselves, but rather they are an object that is dependent on its linked base object.
To build an app over an extension table that is not an extension app itself would be using that table as a standalone object. Hopefully that helps, but let us know if you have any further questions on the topic!
@pbarber FYI on building an app over an extended table. Please reply to Cheyanne if you have follow-up questions.
