Attribute 'Editable' read only on Express List View table [sn_sow_exp_app_view]

[Carlos Dudoren2]

The attribute 'Editable' is read only on the Express List View table [sn_sow_exp_app_view].

Having the configured views editable in the Express List is something really desirable to Event Management Operators, because it is really useful to use the filters while handling Alerts.

Any concerns on modifying the 'Editable' attribute definition in the Express List View table [sn_sow_exp_app_view]?

The options would be

1) Modify the attribute 'Read only' definition from 'true' to 'false'

2) Change the default value of the 'Read only' attribute from 'false' to 'true'

Thank you,

Hi @Carlos Dudoren2,

I apparently don't have activated same plugins like you so I cannot replicate this.

However I used another Editable record in [sys_dictionary] table:

And as per your 2 questions, the Read only true/false and default value "false" are not referring to the same thing...

Imagine this Dictionary would be for a Priority field - you can make it read only: true x false, and default value would be 1 - Critical... 

I don't know if this makes sense to you, if not, let me know to discuss it further

Hi @GlideFather ,

Yes, correct, the 2 options are different on the attribute configuration in the dictionary.

Both options would work for my requirement, but a modification in the attribute is needed. My main question is why this is defined this way out of the box, as it should be something configurable.

Another option is to run a background script to set the value of the desired "Express List View" records to 'True', but this would require admin privileges. The ideal situation would be that an user with the "Event Management Admin (evt_mgmt_admin)" role could define if an "Express List View" should be editable or not when used in the Service Operations Workspace Express List.

Thank you,
