It is possible to use select fields in multiple ways, initially it is possible to manage them as:
Select single or Select multiplo; by checkingData --> Multiple values the select will be multiselect in the form.
It is possible to create a dropdown select with elements that are populated with values from data inserted into another Form not Resource.
Tab Data configuration [fig.1]:
- Data Source Type → Url
- Data Source URL → /models/distinct
Configurazione Tab API → Custom Properties [fig.2]:
- Id → rec_name (it is the value that is used as option val in the select list)
- label → the name of the field considered indicative for the user (e.gTitle)
- domain → {} query domain to apply to reduce the list to the desired dataset
- model → the rec_name of the Form from which you want to extract the information.
- compute_label → [Optional] computes the label by combining the values of multiple fields divided by “-”
For an example of complex use of the form you can see in:
Design → Form → Action Model → Tab [ Next Action] → Field [Next Action] → tab [API]
Warning: specific code development is required for this functionality.
To activate an automatic calculation of a field, the flag must be checked
Calculate Value on server and then add the method name inside the configuration Calculated Value
The calculated values will be updated only at save of the form and not to the change of information.
The method must be placed in a class that it extends ServiceAction taking into account the correct inheritance chain of all installed plugins.
The method signature includes a parameter data dictionary type, input;
this dictionary contains all the data of the record to be saved, it is therefore possible in the method to modify record values as necessary before that data is saved.
The method must return data, possibly modified.
