edit button for related list

[El Cuchi]

Hi All,

i was asked to create a related list in the business service form to link it to business units.

The point is to know which business unit is affected when the business service is down.

i created the relationship (without any code.

"Applies to table" cmdb_ci_service

"query from" business_unit

Then, i created a ui action to see the EDIT button in the related list.

The issue i am facing is that when i click on edit button, it allows me to edit the business unit record whereas, i want to be able to add or remove business units to the related list instead.

what is the issue?

regards,

There are a couple of issues here.  Without any code in the relationship, it's not a relationship nor a Related List - it's just a list of all Business Units on every Service.  You would need to add a List field to either the service table, referencing the BU table, or vice-versa to establish a relationship.  Otherwise there's nothing to edit - without a relationship you can't de-select some of the BUs from showing in the list as the list itself isn't a table.  There is an ACL to prohibit enabling the Edit button on custom Related Lists, which likely means creating your own may not be successful.
