catalog items as a treepicker

[Goran WitchDoc]

I'm wondering if it is possible to perhaps make the lookup field for request item(on call) more like the tree picking. since it would be easier to locate different catalog items if you see the category like.

As it looked now:

And I would like it to look like:

Any ideas?

Giving this a bump to see if anyone knows..

Hi Goran,

I recently worked on the tree picker, I hope my experience will help you to resolve this -

Go the sc_cat_item table, find the category field and add tree_picker=true to existing attributes of that field category

Go the table where you are referring the category and add tree_picker=true attribute

The reference pop up will behave as tree picket showing category and catalog item further -

Hopefully it helps

It can be done for categories (as seen above), but not for the items themselves.

It only really works for parent-child type relationships on the same table.

Catalog Items (sc_cat_item) and Category (sc_category) are on different tables, so I don't think this is possible.

That being said, it does work natively for Users & Groups, although that may be because there is a Group Membership table that joins the two together (sys_user_grmember)

You would have to have two fields, the category as a tree picker (solution above) and then a ref qualifier on the catalog item field based on the selected category.

Thanks a lot for the thoughts and info. Now I got an idea of how I might get this to work. Now I only need to time to it as well
