#AOT
#define.FieldGroups('Field Groups')
#define.TableFieldGroupItem('PROPERTIES\nTable\n#\%1\nDataField\n#\%2\nENDPROPERTIES')
TreeNode table, fieldGroups, fieldGroup, field;
;
 
// Gets the Address table.
table = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath + #AOTDelimiter + tableStr(Address));
 
// Gets the Address table's Field Groups node.
fieldGroups = table.AOTfindChild(#FieldGroups);
 
// Gets the 'Delivery' field group.
fieldGroup = fieldGroups.AOTfindChild(tableFieldGroupStr(Address, Delivery));
 
// Adds the field 'Name' to the 'Delivery' field group.
fieldGroup.AOTadd(fieldStr(Address, Name));
 
// Adds the display method 'tableRelationName' to the 'Delivery field group.
// This uses the Address table's RecVersion field as a dummy and converts it 
// to a display field by setting its properties.
field = fieldGroup.AOTadd(fieldStr(Address, RecVersion));
field.AOTSetProperties(strFmt(
    #TableFieldGroupItem,
    tableStr(Address),
    tablemethodstr(Address, tableRelationName)));
 
// Saves the changes to the table.
table.AOTsave();
