Embedded List Add or New Button

Radhika Aluru1 · ‎09-12-2013

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

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>

Radhika can you please provide details on how you implemented this solution?

Hi Mohammed,

You need to add embedded list from the form layout. Using this, it will remove related list from the form and it will be added as an embedded list.

After that, you need to create a new UI macro to insert/update records in the embedded list.

Thanks,

Radhika
