Hidden Link

[DevMostafa]

tanya I have a problem with a related link which is hidden in the "detail" layout between two entities and this is its metdata/entityDefs/Account.json

"contact": {
"type": "link"
},
how can I show the hidden link. I added a text between the <a></a> tags and its run successfully, but how can I make it dynamic?

[tanya]

Hello
It depends on how do you hide this field.
Could you explain better?

The contact link only has the hidden property and I didn't know. This file is auto-generated from EspoCRM after defining the entity fields

[tanya]

contact field has default link view, so it hasn't be hidden. Did you add this field on the layout?

[DevMostafa]

Yes, I added it in the details and list view

[tanya]

Could be this field hidden with Dynamic Logic of some field?

[DevMostafa]

NO, I checked my custom/entity and client/custom files and didn't find any dynamic logic to make this field hidden.

[tanya]

you need to look for here custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Account.json

[DevMostafa]

I had this code & think there's no fault

{
"controller": "custom:controllers/Account",
"views": {
"detail": "custom:views/Account/detail"
},

"recordViews": {

"detail": "custom:views/Account/record/detail"

}



}

[tanya]

attach custom:views/Account/detail and custom:views/Account/record/detail

[DevMostafa]

this is the Account client files

[DevMostafa]

This is what I'm talking to you about

[tanya]

Show me brokerage account view... seems you don't set the field 'Name'

[DevMostafa]

It's existed already, but thanks tanya for your help.
I've managed a workaround to solve it.
