Workspace Form Controller - How to expand returned data for recordMembers?

Jorogumo4 · 3 weeks ago

Hey all, I've been trying to research this, but I'm not able to figure it out...

How do we go about adding more data to the form controller > form > recordMembers array?

I'd love to have phone number setup in here as well, not sure why it's not by default.

The form controller output is mapped from the form controller state params.

            "recordMembers": {
                "binding": {
                    "address": [
                        "recordMembers"
                    ]
                },
                "type": "STATE_BINDING"
            },

The state param is filled from the glide_form_1 data source. Client script Initialize mentions users:

The data source is [sys_ux_data_broker_proxy] with sysid: "dc6e87a5232200100e4bc50947bf654b". Now what a proxied data broker is I have no idea. I am guessing this data source gets its data from other components in some way. Maybe someone more experienced in uib knows

The activity stream component (root component now-activity-stream-connected) dispatches an event called NOW_ACTIVITY_STREAM_CONNECTED#AUTHORS_UPDATED which probably helps if you need to keep the list updating live

/sys_ux_lib_component.do%3Fsys_id%3D4f6f089446890030a5b1f67b340c41f4

I doubt you can alter this exactly but it doesn't mean you can't query and store this information in other manners
