Trying to understand the highlighted item on the main panel in Item Maintenance (see screenshot). Can anyone tell me what ""ALB"" stands for? In Customizer, there appears not only this field as an item, but there is also a custom panel on the panel list labeled ""Extended Item Description"", but there is no visible tab in the CI_Item task. The client thinks that it is supposed to display the extended item description, but they have next to no items with E.D.s, and he is vague about whether it ever worked (it doesn't now). v2016.2. Does this make sense to anyone?

I don't know what it stands for exactly but I think the ALB indicates that it is a UDF that is from a linked table (as opposed to the main table listed in customizer).

Actually, I discovered that it does work. When you add an extended description, save the item, open it back up, the field is populated. Associated with it is a custom ""panel"", which isn't a visible tab in Item Maint. Thing is, I may need to delete it and put it back later, but haven't a clue how to do it (prior consultant did it)
