Embedded List Add or New Button

[Radhika Aluru1]

Hi All,

I have added an embedded list to a form. When user want to add any record in that related table, he needs to go through the Insert New Row and edit the entered record. In the normal related list, we can see New button. I searched in embedded list control and there is no option to set New or add button unlike in related list control.

I can see the Add button from the attachment of the below forum post.

Embedded Lists

Is there any setting that I need to modify to see the Add button in the embedded list?

Regards,
Radhika

I ended up just using a related list instead of an embedded one.   I then removed breadcrumbs/filters from all but admins, and took away the new buttons elsewhere they could access the items from the related list (so that they were forced to use the related list to create a new item).

This worked well for me, and looks almost like an embedded list.

Hi Radhika Aluru,

        I am trying to do the same. Can you give me an example of UI Macro?

[Radhika Aluru1 · Accepted solution]

Here is the UI macro code that we have created. I have used the sample code from SNC guru to open the popup and added little bit of code to pass the values to the dialog form

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
    <g:evaluate var="jvar_guid" expression="gs.generateGUID(this);" />
    <j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_${jvar_guid}:${ref}"/>
                <img border="0" src="add.gifx" title="${gs.getMessage('Add')}" alt="${gs.getMessage('Add')}" onclick="addEditUserPopopt('${ref}')"/>
          <script>
          //OnClick function for UI macro

          function addEditUserPopopt(reference){
               
                var v = gel('sys_uniqueValue').value;

if(v == ''){
                      var dialog = new GlideDialogForm('Add, your table name',saveOriginalForm);
                      dialog.setSysID('-1'); //Pass in -1 to create a new record
                }
               
                else{
         
               
                      var dialog = new GlideDialogForm('Add ', 'your table name',saveOriginalForm);
                      dialog.setSysID(-1); //Pass in reference sys_id to edit record
                }
                dialog.addParm('sysparm_view', 'default'); //Specify a form view
                dialog.addParm('sysparm_form_only', 'true'); //Remove related lists
             

                //Callback function executed from dialog submit
             
dialog.setLoadCallback(function(iframeDoc) {
var dialogFrame = 'defaultView' in iframeDoc ? iframeDoc.defaultView : iframeDoc.parentWindow;
var interval;
var count = 0;
interval = setInterval(function() {
try {
if (dialogFrame.g_form) {
dialogFrame.g_form.setValue('related field', v);
clearInterval(interval);
dialogFrame = null;
} else if (count > 50) {
clearInterval(interval);
dialogFrame = null;
}
}catch (e) {
clearInterval(interval);
dialogFrame = null;
}
count++;
}, 200);
});
dialog.render(); //Open the dialog
                }
function saveOriginalForm(action){
g_form.save();
}        
    </script>
</j:jelly>
