How does the "merge records" work and when it gets enabled?

"Merge records" on the actions menu should become enabled when you select more than one record in the list (as long as the user also has the "Duplicates processing" (CanMergeDuplicates) operation permission). Could it be that the user account doesn't have this permission?

Ryan Farley,

Thanks for the note!



1. Here more than one duplicated record is selected

2. The logged-in user is the supervisor and has the "Duplicates processing" (CanMergeDuplicates) operation permission). 

Note:

If a record is filtered and multiple entries (i.e., duplicates) are selected this merge record is disabled. If multiple records in a section are selected without applying any filters in the section filter (OOTB filter option --: "Merge Record" option is enabled).

Bhoobalan Palanivelu,

I looked at the code for the merge button, it looks like it sets visible based on if the user has the permission or not, not the enabled property. For the menu item to be enabled, it looks like it just uses the "isAnySelected" to determine if any records are selected in the list (isAnySelected is implemented in GridUtilitiesV2 mixin). 

Apparently, that is returning false for your section. Do you have any console errors showing when using that section?

Ryan Farley,

No console errors for the section.

Now it works. But haven't changed any operation permission or configuration.



Thanks for the insight !

It seems the property enabled/disabled is based on  "isAnySelected"  attribute and the operation permission read from "SysAdminOperation" which defines the access right.



could you please help with the module that has this Merge menu code? 

Best regards,
