Hello!

You can use the filtersConfig parameter to filter records, as mentioned in the article.

Or you can use the option selectionState to predefine selected rows, which will be pre-selected when the lookup page is opened.

Example of selected records:

{
	type: "crt.OpenLookupPageRequest",
	...
	selectionState: {
		type: 'specific',
		selected: [
			'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
			'11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111',
		]
	}
}

An example of pre-filtering records:

{
	type: "crt.OpenLookupPageRequest",
	...
	filtersConfig: {
		filterAttributes: [
			{
				name: 'MyFilter',
				loadOnChange: false
			}
		],
		attributesConfig: {
			MyFilter: {
				value: {
					"items": {
						"29e16d42-36f1-4e04-9029-4321cbb2494d": {
							"filterType": 1,
							"comparisonType": 11,
							"isEnabled": true,
							"trimDateTimeParameterToDate": false,
							"leftExpression": {
								"expressionType": 0,
								"columnPath": "Name"
							},
							"isAggregative": false,
							"dataValueType": 1,
							"rightExpression": {
								"expressionType": 2,
								"parameter": {
									"dataValueType": 1,
									"value": "Super"
								}
							}
						}
					},
					"logicalOperation": 0,
					"isEnabled": true,
					"filterType": 6,
					"rootSchemaName": "Contact"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Hello,

The possibility to use multi-select lookups in Freedom UI is registered as a feedback and will be available in future releases of Creatio’s platform.



At this moment, you can check the materials for Classic UI:

Marketplace solution:

https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/multi-select-text-field-setup-creatio

And a link to the community post where this issue has already been discussed, perhaps it will be helpful to you:

https://community.creatio.com/questions/multiselect-lookup

Best regards,

Anastasiia

Hello,

I've written up some steps to do this, however, it is only possible in version 8.1.

https://customerfx.com/article/invoking-a-multi-select-lookup-dialog-on…

In the near future I will be releasing a Freedom UI replacement for my marketplace addon linked previously by Anastasiia (Multi-select text field setup for Creatio)

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

Thank you for this! Could you also please confirm if adding detail records through multiselect is possible in 8.1? 

Ref: 

https://academy.creatio.com/documents/technic-sdk/7-11/adding-multiple-…

Shivani Lakshman,

Yes, however, for now you have to handle the adding of the records in code. The article I shared shows how to invoke the lookup in multi-select mode. It uses the results to flatten out to text, however, you could just use the results and do an insert for each into the list/detail. See here for how to do the insert: 

https://customerfx.com/article/inserting-a-record-from-client-side-code…

Ryan

Shivani Lakshman,

I wrote up the details for adding to a list from a multi-select lookup as a new article here: https://customerfx.com/article/adding-to-a-list-from-a-lookup-on-a-free…

Ryan

Ryan Farley,

Thank you! This will really help!

Hi Vasili,

Could you please give us more details about your issue?

Specifically, please describe your object model based on the following template:

The example implies the following conditions:

1. Multiple choice field was added to the Activity page.

2. The method uses the ActivityParticipant object linked to the Activity object.

3. The Contact object is a source object for the Multiple choice field.

As such, the structure comprises three main objects:

• Activity: main object

• ActivityParticipant: decoupling object

• Contact: source object for the Multiple choice field

Also, please send us the list of columns in the decoupling object, your Creatio version, product, and DBMS

Yevhen Vorobiov,

Thank you for your response,

DBMS is a MSSQL Server 19 ,

Creatio Version is 8.0.1,

Product is bpmonline bank customer journey on-site,

This is a  Piot Table, connecting contact and labels objects.

We are expecting that, all label information for all contacts will be saved in this Object "UsrContactLabels", after adding labels and saving the contact page, when we refresh the page it does not save it in object and after refreshing this field is empty.

We added multiselect element on Contact Page:

MultiSelect values are Labels from Lookup (sceen below):

• Activity: main object - For us is "UsrContact" (all our contacts)

• ActivityParticipant: decoupling object - For us is "UsrContactLabels" (Piot Table joining Contacts and Labels"Lookup")

• Contact: source object for the Multiple choice field - For us is "UsrLabels" (Labels Lookup)

Hi Vasili,

Thank you for the detailed description.

I tested your case on the same Creatio version, product, and DBMS. I created the same object model and was unable to reproduce the issue on my end.

Could you please send us the full JavaScript page code?

Also, please reproduce the issue with the browser console open. Do you get any errors in the console?

Hi Yevhen Vorobiov,

Thank you for your response.

I did not get any errors in console after selecting MultiSelect value and saving Contact Page.

Here we choose your Labels in MultiSelect without saving Contact Page.

Here we Saved Contact Page and There are no Errors in Console.

Vasili Piruzashvili,

Hi Vasili,

Your source code has to include the following method:

init: function() {

                this.callParent(arguments);

                this.mixins.MultiChoiceMixin.init.call(this, arguments);

In other words, the source code should look as follows: 

methods: {
 
			init: function() {
				this.callParent(arguments);
				this.mixins.MultiChoiceMixin.init.call(this, arguments);
		},
 
    getMultiChoiceEntitiesConfig: function () {
                const items = {
                        UsrAutomaticLabel: {
                            mainEntitySchemaName: "UsrContactLabels",
                            mainColumnName: "UsrContact",
                            relatedEntitySchemaName: "UsrAutomaticLabels",
                            relatedColumnName: "UsrLabels"
                            }
                        };
                        return items;
 
                },
 
},

Yevhen Vorobiov,

Hi Yevhen, I made new Server and added Multiple Choice as it was in documentation. I have same problem with saving data. There are not any error in console ,  after chosing multiple Choiche values "Labels"  and saving Contact page, but after reloading the page the data is not saved and Labels are deleted so its empty .

Hi Vasili,

I can see that your code uses this method:

methods: {
onEntityInitialized: function() {
window._contactObject = this;
this.callParent(arguments);
this.mixins.MultiChoiceMixin.init.call(this, arguments);
},

However, the instruction uses the following method instead:

methods: {
init: function() {
this.callParent(arguments);
this.mixins.MultiChoiceMixin.init.call(this, arguments);
},

When I use the former method, I get the same issue. I can select data in the field, but Creatio will not save it. When I use the method from the instruction, everything works as expected.
Could you please test the method from the instruction? Is using a different method required in your case?

It worked! Thanks a lot

Hello,

Unfortunately, I didn't know a way to disable the checkbox on the lookup window and don't even know if that option is possible, however, in your case you can try a different approach. 

You can add a filter to an openLookup config that won't shop any records and disable it when you are using your config.selectedValues option.

Hello,

To implement this logic, please check out these articles on Community:

https://community.creatio.com/questions/implementing-multi-select-lookup

https://community.creatio.com/questions/multiselect-lookup

They should help you out in your business task. If it is not quite what was needed, kindly specify with more detail what exactly you are trying to implement.

Hello Shivani, 

Can you please provide the code you are referring to? 

Best Regards, 

Igor

Ihor Skohariev,

Following is the code I have used, to mark the records already selected as marked. I need to prevent these marked records as unmarked. Basically, we cannot uncheck an already checked record

esq.getEntityCollection(function(result) {
                 	var existsDocumentsCollection = [];
                 	if (result.success) {
                         		result.collection.each(function(item) {
                         		existsDocumentsCollection.push(item.get(”AccountId”));
                          });
                        }
		config.selectedValues = existsDocumentsCollection;

Hello, is it correct that currently every time you open and close a lookup window there are no selected records and your code doesn't work? Or it's working but only after validation and you need to make it that the needed values are already selected before that moment?

Dmytro Vovchenko,

We have managed to figure this out using custom logic. The rows already selected are marked when we add more records. 

Hello,

The multi-select lookup will be not checked by itself. Its purpose is to get multiple values from somewhere and create the record in the detail. Please find more information about this functionality by the link below:

https://academy.creatio.com/documents/technic-sdk/7-15/adding-multiple-records-detail

Could you please elaborate on your business task?

Please do not hesitate to provide us with the screenshot with explanations. 

Are you interested in the implementation of your business task with development?

Probably, it is better to use this add-on from Marketplace https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/multiple-choice-field-setup-creatio
