Hi folks,
When I create a new project based on a template, I have the following requirements:
1. add the Company field on the template pop up -> done by updating the related UI macro create_project_from_template (78ff33d1c3303100b0449f2974d3aec7)
2. once the Template and Company are selected, the Company is filled out on the newly created project. -> failed.
In order to fill out the Company on the Project record, I know that I need to update the processing script in the UI page create_project (07009e91c3222100b0449f2974d3aeb6) but it uses the object GlideProjectTemplate which is not available to developers from my understanding.
OOTB UI page create_project

Processing script
var project = null; var projectTable = SNC.PPMConfig.getProjectTable(template_table); if(sys_action != "undefined"){ template_action = sys_action; } if(typeof project_start_date == "undefined"){ project_start_date = ""; } if (template_action == "create_project") { project = GlideProjectTemplate.createProject(project_template, project_name, project_start_date); if (project != null && project.isValid()) { if(is_planning_console == 'true'){ response.sendRedirect("blank.do#sysparm_sys_class_name="+projectTable+"&sysparm_planning_console_sys_id=" + project.getUniqueValue()); } else{ response.sendRedirect(projectTable + ".do?sys_id=" + project.getUniqueValue()); } } } else if (template_action == "apply_template" && project_id ) { GlideProjectTemplate.apply(project_template, project_id, project_start_date); new ProjectPortfolioUtils().refreshProjectByProjectId(project_id,projectTable); if(is_planning_console == 'true'){ response.sendRedirect("gantt.do?sysparm_sys_class_name="+projectTable+"&sysparm_sys_id=" + project_id); } else{ response.sendRedirect(projectTable + ".do?sys_id=" + project_id); } } else { response.sendRedirect(projectTable + "_list.do"); } |
Has anyone come across that issue? It is not related to Project specifically but in a broad sense to templates. My hunch is that the requirement of adding a field on a template pop up must have been encountered in the past.
Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
Best regards
