Before there were scoped applications I could login as admin, bring up the form and add a section with the content of another table and its fields. For example, I have a table with server details, model, make, hardware specifications etc. and instead of entering it manually into each cmdb_ci_server record, I just pick one from the list of predefined configurations and all details will be displayed from the reference table (read only) and the only linkage I have in the cmdb_ci_server is the unique identified for the item in the reference table.
With Geneva, I have a scoped applications creating the reference table. When I now login as admin in the global scope I can still change the form for cmdb_ci_server or any other cmdb_ci form but when I try to configure the form, none of the scoped application tables or fields show up. So I can create another Section but I cant get a selection box with the reference data into that section nor can I see any of the data from the scoped application table. Its like that scoped application table does not even exist.
Ideally I would like multiple sections in the cmdb_ci forms pointing to multiple tables in the scoped application for different purposes:
1. For reference data purposes, so you pick one element and the other values are displayed read only from the scoped application table.
2. For configuration data purposes so you have a section with some additional form fields that are stored within the tables of the scoped application along with the ID of the cmdb_ci... record. For example IP addresses, network protocols, username etc. While some can be kept in cmdb_ci_... table fields its not ideal as you have to verify each table rather than going to a single place for the information and put it all into one table, provided by the scoped application.
I tried reference fields - but scoped application tables dont show up in the list of available items. Is there a way to do this in Geneva with a scoped application from a 3rd party vendor?
