You can use the CardState to see if the record is in add mode (record is being added, saved for first time) or edit mode:

const mode = await request.$context.CardMode;
if (mode === “add”) {
    //
}

If you need to call some code exactly once when a record is created, I'd suggest moving the whole logic to backend. Specifically EntityEventListener and implement OnInserting or OnInserted methods to call your logic before or after the record is saved

Ryan Farley,

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the reply, however that didn't work. The CardMode returns undefined, and when inspecting it in developer tools (request.$context object) the value is always 'edit' , when inserting the first time or when updating. Is there anything else I can do to fix the issue? Thanks

Best,

Mohamad

Yurii Sokil,

Hey Yurii,

Thanks for the reply, I have tried moving the logic to backend, however I encountered some issues. The overloaded method OnInserted cannot be async, and therefore I cannot call APIs directly from that method.

There is another option to call asynchronously using this method https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/back-end-development/objects-business-logic#title-2173-11 . However that doesn't solve the problem as if there were any errors when executing the asynchronous code, the record gets saved normally without indicating errors. Its a fire and forget operation and I need something that prevents a record from being inserted if the API call failed. Is there any way I can achieve this? Thanks for help

Best,

Mohamad

I need something like this but on freedom UI page instead of classic UI page

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/platform-customization/classic-ui/record-page/field/examples/enable-the-automatic-numbering-front-end

Mohamad Salhani,

If all you're after is to set up an auto number column, you can use the new auto number column default value. See https://customerfx.com/article/working-with-autonumber-fields-in-creatio/

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

No, so basically I need to populate a field once a record is created, and the value comes from an external API that I have to call

Ryan Farley,

Thanks for the support, I was finally able to solve it by checking the createdOn and modifiedOn dates for the record and see if they are equal, this way I can identify if the record was added for the first time or not. 

Thanks again!

Hi Mohamad, 
You can use AsyncPump.Run() to call async methods synchronously in your event listener. Also you can override OnInserting rather than OnInserted so your logic is called before the record is actually saved. 

Yurii Sokil,

Hey Yuri,

Thanks for the reply! It did work however I have a question. How can I pass arguments to the method passed in AsyncPump.Run() ? 

I have this code, but I can't pass arguments to the method.

[EntityEventListener(SchemaName = "UsrPetolTest")]
public class CustomEntityEventListener : BaseEntityEventListener
{
    public override void OnInserting(object sender, EntityBeforeEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnInserting(sender, e);
 
        var entity = (Entity)sender;
        var userConnection = entity.UserConnection;
 
        AsyncPump.Run(testing);
 
    }
 
    private async void testing()
    {
        try
        {

Best,

Mohamad

You should create 2 separate details. And add them to the separate edit page for section A and for section B.

Thanks Antonii, isn't there any other way than creating two details ? 

Ismail el lahya,

This is the best way to perform this task

Antonii Viazovskyi,

Thank you!

Hello,

From the configured 8x page, you can pass parameter values to the process. In this case, in the Member.

You can see how to wire up a code to respond to a field change here:

https://customerfx.com/article/responding-to-an-event-when-a-field-is-c…

As far as getting and setting the values, this article will show you how to do that: 

https://customerfx.com/article/reading-and-setting-field-values-via-cod…

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

Thank you, I will give it a try.

Ryan Farley,

How can I achieve the same requiremet, but for the fields that are inside a detail with editable list?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Pedro Pinheiro

Hi Edo,

I've not tested this yet, but wanted to mention for you to try. That button does have an attribute that controls its visibility. The attribute is "IsProcessButtonVisible". The attribute, and populating of the menu items is done in the mixin "ProcessEntryPointUtilities". You can override the function "fillRunProcessButtonMenu" on BasePageV2 (or which ever specific page you want to do this on). Something like this: 

fillRunProcessButtonMenu: function() {
    if (UserIsSupervisor) {
        // call base function to populate menu and set visible
        this.mixins.ProcessEntryPointUtilities.fillRunProcessButtonMenu.apply(this, arguments);
    }
    else {
        // do nothing except ensure button not visible
        this.set("IsProcessButtonVisible", false);
    }
}

Again, I've not tested that, but I believe it would work.

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

Thank you very much!

This is exactly what I was looking for and is working great 😁

Dear Diana,

Thanks for your question.

To have a pop-up windows element in business processes you can use the following marketplace solution: 

https://marketplace.creatio.com/template/popup-element-business-process…

Hope this recommendation is helpful to you!

Best regards,

Anastasiia

Hi!

This add-on doesn't work, that's why I want to add the pop-up through code

Ghiu Diana Stefania,

You can refer the following article to understand the logic of how to send websocket message from a process script task and receive the message on the client side.

Hello,

Can you please give us more details on what logic exactly you are trying to achieve?

Best regards,

Mira Dmitruk,

Hi!

I created a custom button on the Lead page. In the Lead I had a process that runs manually when pressing the "Run Process" button. I want to move this process to start when clicking my custom button.

I tried to use this but it doesn't do anything:

onOpenGroupSearchClick: function() {

                //this.showInformationDialog();

                

                var args = {

                    // The name of the process that needs to be launched.

                    sysProcessName: "LeadGroupSearch"

                };

                // Launch of the custom business process.

                ProcessModuleUtilities.executeProcess(args);

            },

But clicking the button works. You can see that I added a pop-up and it appears. The problem is that the process doesn't start.

In the "Run Process" I have to start the process when the LeadId is read. Should I add this to the code?

Thank you!

Ghiu Diana Stefania,

This article shows how to start a process from client-side code:

Ryan

Hello Diana,

As a suggestion you can add a timer after the "Refresh active page" element, and set it to two seconds for example.

This way you could ensure that the element is completly executed in the background and only then the pop-up is displayed.

This add-on was developed by a third party, so if you would like to receive assistance regarding how does it work in detail, please contact  info@solutionsmetrix.com . Unfortunately we can not ensure how will behave the business process with third party custom developments.

Best regards,

Dariy

Hi,

I don't really understand what you mean by putting the name of the button, but, if you want to hide you need to find it in the diff section of the page where your button is located and add to it a parameter "visible", as shown on your code.

This parameter is bound to a method "ButtonVisible" and in it, you can return true or false based on the needed condition.

Dmytro Vovchenko,

Thank you! You're right. But I have one problem, I can't find my button in diff. It is a run process button. I searched for this type of button in other sections also, but I can't find it there also. I don't know if process buttons are made differently.

In that case, can you please show the button you are talking about?

This one: (Run process)

Ghiu Diana Stefania,

With this button you can simply add to diff of the needed page this statement:

			{
				"operation": "merge",
				"name": "ProcessButton",
				"values": {
					"visible": false
				}
			},

Or instead:

"visible": {bindTo: "ButtonVisible"},

Small remark, this button is not your average one, so probably the best way is to bind the visible parameter to a method. In this method return true or false based on your condition.

It still doesn't work

Try opening your record page and refresh it with F5, I bet that the button will disappear. As I said, this button is pretty special. First of all, its realization is buried somewhere in the base page logic and if it is displayed on any section then it will be shown on both section and record pages. When you are opening the record page from the section than the system will remember some aspects from the section page, which includes the values of this button. In that case, try adding the same diff to the section page as well. Also, this button will disappear by itself if you don't have any business-processes attached to the section.

Dmytro Vovchenko,

I made it work to hide it but I need to put a condition also.  If I put it in methods it does nothing. I can only make the button visible or invisible. Do you have any idea?

As I said, you need to bind the parameter "visible" to a method and in that method write a condition that will return true or false.

"visible": { bindTo: "isVisible" }

isVisible: function() {

             if ( ---- )  

                     return true;

             return false;

}

Note, this must be present on both pages.

If this won't work, then I believe with the current logic of this button it would be impossible to hide it with your conditions (or this task will require a lot of modifications of base logic, and I'm not sure it is worth it)

Solved like this: 

methods: {
			prepareResponseCollectionItem: function(item) {
				var account = item.$Account && item.$Account.value; 
				debugger;
				if(account){
					item.customStyle = {
						"display":"none"
					}
				}
			}
		},

If you'd like to filter out the record, rather than just hide them, you can filter the detail using a filter method. I have outlined how to do that here: https://customerfx.com/article/filtering-a-detail-list-in-creatio-forme…

Ryan

Thank you Ryan!
