Hello,

Unfortunately, the logic of inserting an image through a macro into a letter template is not implemented in Creatio.

I am broadcasting your wish to the development team to consider the possibility of adding similar logic in future versions.

Hello,

Could you please describe your business goal in more details, with screenshots if possible?

Hello Andres!

Unfortunately, there are no specific event handlers for the fields.

But you can create your own handler for the blur event using the "handlers" schema section of the Freedom UI page or a remote module.

This request should be bound to the “blurred” property of the input field in the “viewConfigDiff”:

Also, the list of the generic query handlers is available here: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/front-end-development/freedom-ui/client-schema-freedomui/references/handlers

Example of the invoking the query handler - https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/platform-customization/freedom-ui/page-customization-basics/examples/change-where-the-query-handler-is-invoked

Best regards,

Natalia

Thanks! Actually the "blurred" property is what I was looking for.

Is there any documentation in which I can see all the properties that can be bound for a field, in the same way we can bind blurred?



Thanks!

 

Yes this is getting pretty frustrating among metrics and graphs alike for a couple years now, not to be able to set to K or M etc...

Can you please provide some direct example of what you are trying to achieve since unfortunately it's not obvious to us what is performed on the page at the moment, what is the expected result and what is the actual result? Maybe some steps to reproduce it in the local application (like the following:

1) Add column A

2) Add attribute B

3) Connect B to A in the following manner

4) Go to the page where the column and the attribute were added

5) Do "this"

6) Expected result is C

7) Actual result is D

) .

Thank you!

Oleg Drobina,

Basically all I want is to be able to set the value of an attribute in code without triggering the "You have unsaved changes that will be lost. Continue?" message when you leave the page. Is this possible?

Harvey Adcock,

I tried to reproduce the issue, but changing the value of the virtual attributes (like attributes created to control the visibility of the field) by itself does not cause this dialog to appear. 

Please ensure that no other changes need to be saved on the page. Or provide us with additional information describing the exact steps to reproduce the issue.

Best regards,

Natalia

Natalia Kalynovska,

Sorry, I was probably not detailed enough in my abbreviated version - the changes are actually to an attribute that is based over a real column on the entity, so not a virtual attribute. Is there any way to modify such a field in code without triggering the dialog?

Hello Harvey,

To change the field without triggering the dialog, you should save it at once.

It could be implemented by adding the following code to the HandleViewModelAttributeChangeRequest:

…

if (request.attributeName === “[Name of the attribute]”) {

const saveResult = await this.handlerChain.handlerChain$.process({

           type: "crt.SaveRecordRequest",

           preventCardClose: true,

           $context: request.$context

    });

}

…

Please pay attention that too many saving requests may decrease performance.

Another way is to save the necessary changed values to a virtual attribute first, and then extract all of them (set attributes values) and initiate SaveRecordRequest while closing the page (in crt. ClosePageRequest). This approach has some disadvantages:

1. you need to manually adjust the visibility  of “SaveButton” and “CloseButton“ by adding the corresponding merge operations to “viewConfigDiff” of ListPage and FormPage modules (see example - https://community.creatio.com/questions/how-remove-closesave-button-custom-section);
2. data would be saved only on a close/back button click.

And again – you should provide some conditions in order not to store too many changes.

Additionally, starting from the 8.1.1 Creatio version, the dialog may be prevented by adding to handlers the overridden “crt.CanDiscardUnsavedDataRequest” handler:

{request: "crt.CanDiscardUnsavedDataRequest", handler: async (request, next) => {return true;}},

(see https://community.creatio.com/questions/possible-suppress-message-upon-canceling-freedom-ui-mini-page).

However, it still requires manually adjusting the button's visibility and providing proper data saving.

Best regards, 

Natalia

Thanks Natalia, it would be really useful to have the functionality for making silent changes from code that existed in Classic UI added back into Freedom UI - see this post for what was possible in Classic: https://community.creatio.com/questions/change-value-field-without-firing-changed-events

The utility can be in setting fields from code when a create record page loads based on more complicated conditions than you can define in business rules/by other means, but not causing the user additional clicks to cancel or think that they might lose work.

Possibly some usage of this guide might be able to fulfil the ability to discard such data, though it would probably be quite tedious to implement in this scenario: https://customerfx.com/article/suppressing-the-unsaved-data-prompt-when-canceling-a-creatio-freedom-ui-modal-dialog/

Hello,



In this situation, please check if you have the "UseNewShell" system setting enabled. Also in the "Object-specific form page interface in the Freedom and Classic UI shell" lookup, check that Opportunity is specified in the Freedom UI pages. The necessary instructions, I send below:

1. Turn on Freedom UI

2. Manage form pages in Freedom UI

Hi Robert!

Unfortunately, displaying the various sections' attachments together in one attachment component is impossible. However, you can use a separate attachment component for each section.

To implement this, we recommend the following steps:

1.  Open the Page Designer.

2.  For each section that you would like to display the attachments from:

- add the dropdown field, specifying this section as “Lookup” in the field’s general settings (or make sure that such a dropdown field already exists);

- add the attachment component.

3. In each added attachment component, set “Record to attach files” (general settings) to a value from the previously added dropdown field and “File storage location” (advanced settings) to the corresponding table.

After you choose the exact records in the dropdown fields, they will be linked to the current record, and you will see their attachments in the corresponding components. It will help you to avoid duplicating documents.

Best regards,

Natalia

Hi Harvey,

I've done this in several areas in our system using modal forms (actually called a Mini Page in the page types dialog you select from when creating a new page). Here's an example of a dialog allowing the case status to be set from a list (we don't use editable lists yet since there's no way to add validators yet to lists):

This is just a modal/mini form created using the form designer. The nice part about this is that it can be bound directly to the object (I have many that aren't bound as well, depending on the scenario).

You can open this specific page for a particular record using this method (also possible with an action in no code designer as well) https://customerfx.com/article/opening-a-record-for-edit-in-a-specific-…

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

Thanks for the reply Ryan, that seems like exactly what we're after! I had wondered about using a Mini Page for it but wasn't sure how that would be hooked in to work. How are you triggering the mini page to be displayed, I take it it's from code? Is it using something like the following when clicking a button or whatever the trigger is:

const handlerChain = sdk.HandlerChainService.instance;
 
await handlerChain.process({
	type: "crt.CreateRecordRequest",
	entityName: "CustomEntity",
	entityPageName: "CustomEntityMiniPage",
	$context: request.$context,
	defaultValues: [{
		attributeName: "Col1",
		value: "Val1"
	}]
});

Or are you able to get a Mini Page to appear without some entity it's based over? For our requirements, the data field to be modified would actually be on the entity of the Form Page the user was currently on, so it didn't seem like the crt.CreateRecordRequest would make sense, but the crt.OpenPageRequest always seems to open the Mini Page as though it were a full-sized page, and the crt.UpdateRecordRequest I hadn't tried yet as I didn't already have a Mini Page for the entity and thought it likely wouldn't work as the mini pages are generally used for adding data, not editing?

Thanks again.

There's so many uses of modal (mini) pages beyond just what mini pages were used for typically in classic ui. 

IMO It's one of the best additions to Freedom UI, the ability to create dialogs for specific purposes, bound to a record or not, that really enhances the user experience. This is a prompt for selecting parameters for a report.

Ryan

Harvey Adcock,

You would use an "crt.OpenPageRequest". I edited my original post to include a link to an article showing how to open it to edit a record. 

Ryan

Harvey Adcock,

In older versions the "crt.OpenPageRequest" did open the page in full screen, even if a modal page. But I think that was fixed in 8.0.10 and has been working for me (it does open as a modal)

Ryan

Perfect, thanks Ryan, really helpful!

Ryan Farley,

One more question, is there a way to pass information from the current page to the page being opened via the OpenPageRequest? Trying defaultValues, similar to what you would use when creating a new record from a page launched by code, doesn't seem to have any effect, and I can't see any other candidates for it.

Harvey Adcock,

I’m not 100% sure but I think you can only pass values for a new record (crt.CreateRecordRequest) only. 

Alternatively, you could write some values to a global or use the StorageUtilities module and then read from the form once opened. See StorageUtilities here: https://customerfx.com/article/persisting-data-between-pages-in-creatio…

Ryan

Harvey Adcock,

You can try something like this to pass defaultValues

request.$context.executeRequest({
	type: "crt.OpenPageRequest",
	$context: request.$context,
	schemaName: "UsrYourCustom_FormPage",
	modelInitConfigs: [
		{
			action: sdk.ModelInPageAction.Edit,
			recordId: yourRecordId
		},
		{
			defaultValues: [
				{
					attributeName: "someName",
					value: "someValue"
				}
			]
		}
	]
});

Alex Zaslavsky,

Does this passing of values work for passing a value into a Page Parameter? Or is there some way to do so? The value I want to pass to a new page (either through OpenPageRequest or CreateRecordRequest) is not on the entity, it's just a parameter on a page, but we need to set this value when opening the page.

What is the behavior you're expecting? Can you outline the scenario you're trying to accomplish? 

In the code you're including preventCardClose: true which specifically tells the page to not close after saving. If you want the page to close after the save, you need to remove that part (or change to false). However, there could be other factors of what a page does after saving (you could force the navigation back to the list using some code if wanted)

Ryan

preventCardClose:false , this works for me .Thank you  @Ryan for guiding me

I have an article showing how to do this here: 

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

Ryan

@Ryan I have to call a method inside field is changed .I have  used this approach but I am getting issue in this. Can you please help how we can call a function inside field value

 handler: async (request, next) => {

        if (request.attributeName === "BooleanAttribute_ddmdb1n") {

              await cfx.fieldChecked(); // 

        }

        return next?.handle(request);

    }

},

            {

                request: "cfx.fieldChecked",               

                handler: async (request, next) => {

                    const okBtn = {

                        key: "OK",

                        config: {

                            color: "primary",

                            caption: "YES"

                        }

                    };

                    const cancelBtn = {

                        key: "CANCEL",

                        config: {

                            color: "default",

                            caption: "Cancel"

                        }

                    };

                    const result = await request.$context.executeRequest({

                        type: "crt.ShowDialogRequest",

                        $context: request.$context,

                        dialogConfig: {

                            data: {

                                message: "Are you sure you would like to proceed? It will wipe out all the information!!!!",

                                actions: [cancelBtn, okBtn]

                            }

                        }

                    });

                    if (result === "OK") {

          request.$context.StringAttribute_uo3a61k = "";

                    }

You cannot put methods inside a Freedom UI page. Either move the code from cfx.fieldChecked into the change request handler, or you can move it to a module. 

Ryan

okay got it .Thank you for help
