Filtered Config Item Picker for MAs (or any Activity)

Brian_Winter

Any way to make a picker for just a single CI class, ala the User Picker? And have it located in a Manual Activity?

I think I found the silver bullet. I added

Scoped: true,

and it now seems that only the Class listed in ClassId is both visible and selectable. Still in the early testing stage, but this is looks very promising.

Do you mean something like in the custom forms objectpicker. There you can configure the class guid which you can select in the picker. See custom forms https://cireson.com/how-to-create-custom-forms-for-the-cireson-portal/

That's a start. So I have 3 Related Config Items (new custom classes) a Function, CostCenter, and LegalEntity. Now, say, I have a tab that I want to show these 3 items, but separate object pickers. Here's my code for Function:

{

                name: "Function",

                type: "multipleObjectPicker",

                PropertyName: "RelatesToConfigItem",

                ClassId: "85fea85a-d243-50bd-f496-565ed59389f1",

                PropertyToDisplay: {DisplayName:"Function",Description:"Description"},

                SelectableRow: true,

                SelectProperty: "Function"

              },

However, this pulls back ALL Related Config Items, not just the Function. Please don't say "Type Projection" - I am woefully ignorant on how to do those.

@Brian_Winter If I understand your situation correctly, you are using the generic relation RelatesToConfigItem. However, in this case all configitems are returned, since through inheritance derived classes also correspond to a configitem. It would be best to use your own relation. Then only the desired items of the specific class are returned. Not to go into detail here, because I do not know the entire solution I would recommend in principle a separate relation in the created custom classes. These would then have to be made available to the desired form via typeprojection.

@Brian_Winter this is new for me. Good to know :-). It would be nice if the information about custom forms would be better described from cireson.

Agreed 100% This is the only KA that I found: https://support.cireson.com/KnowledgeBase/View/51?seletedTab=enduser#heading-4-end-user

While very helpful, it doesn't even mention the Scoped option. I found it digging around various OotB forms for Work and Config Items.

Brian_Winter

While I'm working in JSON forms, is there a way to define a simple list, "Yes", "No", "Maybe"?

Jan_Schulz

i only know the way to use an existing enumeration list in the class of the form.

If i were you i would open a new thread in this forum with this question.

@Brian_Winter , are you just wanting a static list that's defined in the form but saves to an existing string property?

Something like this:

{DataType: "StringList", PropertyDisplayName: "My Custom String Field", PropertyName: "String01", Options: ["Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma"]}

This doesn't exist, but would be pretty epic!

Damn You Justin!! 😠 I was on the way to copy/paste... and then I read the last sentence. 😭

I guess it's create an enum and extend the SR/MA. 😔
