Idea Portal Widget Create/Edit

[litchick10]

We want to use the Idea portal and have configured it to work, however, we have additional fields that we want on the Create/Edit widget that match the form for the table.  I cannot find documentation on the widget tags. I am brand new to developing in the portal/widgets but have some experience in native SNOW

For example:

I added a field Epic Hypothesis but cannot figure out how to send the data back to the Idea. This field exists in the table as u_epic. Additionally, I can't figure out how to populate it with the default value for Epic Hypothesis. 

I added the following to the HTML

 <label for="epic" class="field-label" title="{{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}}" aria-label="{{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}} "
                                tooltip-right="true">
              
                                {{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}}
                            </label>
                            <cf-tiny-mce
                                         ng-class="(formSubmitted && !data.formModel._fields.u_epic.stagedValue) ? 'field-invalid' : ''"
                                         data-ng-model="data.formModel._fields.u_epic.stagedValue"
                                         ng-model-options="{height: '300', allow: false}"
                                         table="{{data.formModel.table}}"
                                         attachment-sys-id="-1"
                                         max-file-size="{{data._maxAttachmentSize}}">
                              <p>test data</p>
                           </cf-tiny-mce>

The following for Server Script

			'u_epic': gs.getMessage('Epic Hypothesis')

The following to Client Script under 

    $scope.data.formModel = {
        _fields: {
	//Existing formModel info was here added this below
	  u_epic: {
                label: $scope.data.messages.formLabels.u_epic,
                name: $scope.data.messages.formLabels.u_epic,
                stagedValue: ($scope.data.ideaInfo && $scope.data.ideaInfo.u_epic) || '',
                value: '<p>Test</p>',
                displayValue: 'Test',
                type: 'html'
                 },

The value/default value do not display on the form in the portal and nothing transmits on submit.  What am I missing

Example 2:

How do I create a field with a tree picker like our benefiting line of business field

 

 Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

For your second question, navigate to the dictionary for your field and add an attribute as shown below.

Thanks

Sorry was unclear about what I'm asking for. I know how to add onto table/form in Native Snow, I'm trying to figure out how to add this type of field in the portal.

For example the cf-tiny-mce tag makes an HTML of field, what tag(s) makes a tree picker list field?

[Chander Bhusha1]

Hi Litchick10,

The tree picker is not possible as how it works in native but you can give a try by following the steps mentions in the below threads:

Tree Picker in portal

Tree

The solution is not complete you can give a try.

Please mark my response correct and helpful.

Thanks,

Hi,

For your first question, i followed below steps and i was able to insert data into idea table with epic field also.

A) Create a HTML field in the idea table - u_epic

B) Client controller

1. In $scope.data.formModel object, added entry:
u_epic: {
label: $scope.data.messages.formLabels.u_epic,
name: $scope.data.messages.formLabels.u_epic,
stagedValue: ($scope.data.ideaInfo && $scope.data.ideaInfo.u_epic) || '',
value: '',
displayValue: '',
type: 'html',
mandatory: true,
mandatory_filled: function () {
return !!($scope.data.formModel._fields.u_epic.stagedValue);
},
isMandatory: function () {
return true;
}
}

2. In the _getRequestParams function
added the line: requestParams.sysparm_u_epic = formFields.u_epic.stagedValue;

C) In the Server Script

1. For the object: data.messages.formLabels, added below line:
'u_epic': gs.getMessage('Epic')

D) In the HTML section added below in the <form> tag similar to description

<label for="u_epic" class="field-label" title="{{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}}" aria-label="{{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}} "
tooltip-right="true">
<span class="field-decorations">
<span ng-show="::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.mandatory" class="fa fa-asterisk mandatory" ng-class="{'mandatory-filled': data.formModel._fields.u_epic.mandatory_filled()}"
title="${Required}" style="padding-right: .25em" aria-label="{{data.formModel._fields.u_epic.mandatory_filled()? '${Required Filled}' : '${Required}'}}"></span>
</span>
{{::data.formModel._fields.u_epic.label}}
</label>
<cf-tiny-mce
ng-class="(formSubmitted && !data.formModel._fields.u_epic.stagedValue) ? 'field-invalid' : ''"
data-ng-model="data.formModel._fields.u_epic.stagedValue"
ng-model-options="{height: '300', allow: false}"
table="{{data.formModel.table}}"
attachment-sys-id="-1"
max-file-size="{{data._maxAttachmentSize}}">
</cf-tiny-mce>

E) Navigate to scripted rest api: Idea Management Portal
In the Resources related list: open the resource - Idea CUD Operations
In the script field:
For the if condition: if(operation == 'create')
added line - ideaInfo.u_epic = requestData.sysparm_u_epic; below this line: ideaInfo.description = requestData.sysparm_description;

F) Navigate to script include: IMCreateEditIdeaDataService
Add below method:
createIdea: function(ideaInfo) {
//gs.log('ideaInfo: ' + JSON.stringify(ideaInfo), 'IdeaPortal');
var newIdeaSysId;
var ideaGr = new GlideRecord(this.ideaTableName);
ideaGr.initialize();
ideaGr.setNewGuidValue(ideaInfo.sysId); //Setting sys_id here so that to fetch related attachments
ideaGr.module = ideaInfo.module;
ideaGr.short_description = ideaInfo.title;
ideaGr.idea_description = ideaInfo.description;
ideaGr.u_epic = ideaInfo.u_epic;
if(ideaGr.canCreate()) {
newIdeaSysId = ideaGr.insert();
//this.updateIdeaReferencesWithCategories(ideaInfo.categoryInfo,newIdeaSysId);
this.createM2MReferencesForIdeaAndCategories(ideaInfo.categoryInfo,newIdeaSysId);
this.updateEditorAttachments(ideaInfo.editorImages, newIdeaSysId);
}
return {
'sys_id': newIdeaSysId
};
},

This method comes from the script include: IMCreateEditIdeaDataServiceSNC
We are overriding this so that we can add the epic field.

 Thanks
