Extending Parent view with a custom child view

[brianpunzalan]

Is it possible to extend the crm:views/lead/detail view with my own custom view?

I wanted to make some changes on the parent view by creating my custom view and extend it in the parent view. Currently, the alert() method is not being executed when I try the below code.

Below code is an example of how I think to implement it.

Please advise. Thanks!

where,

paramater 1 -> view name?
parameter 2 -> parent view?

Espo.define('Custom:Views.Lead.Detail', 'Crm:Views.Lead.Detail', function (Dep) {

    return Dep.extend({

        setup: function (){
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);

        },
        afterRender: function(){
             Dep.prototype.afterRender.call(this);
             alert('Custom Child View Alert');
        }

    });
});

Hello
Did you override lead clientDefs? https://www.espocrm.com/documentatio.../custom-views/

I did not override it, I want it to stay that way, and just make my own custom for upgrade safe.

Is it possible to do that?

You need to create a custom clientDefs, like in an article. And in views > detail set your view (Custom:Views.Lead.Detail). And your view extends native (Crm:Views.Lead.Detail)
This customization is upgrade safe
