Hi alruwaished,

Its very simple and u need APPS password and follow these steps:

1. Click on a field in the same block in which the descriptive flexfield appears.
2. Select Help > Diagnostics > Examine (enter APPS password). This opens a window showing information on the selected field. Note the name of the block in which the field is located.
3. Click the Block list of values button to display a list of the available blocks for this form. Select $DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXFIELD$.
4. Click the Field list of values button to display a list of the descriptive flexfields for this form. Each entry is prefixed by the name of the block in which the descriptive flexfield appears. Find the entries for the block whose name you determined in step 2.
5. Select the flexfield you wish to implement from the entries for that block. The user name of the descriptive flexfield appears in the Value field.

Thanks,

AmaN
