Extending Task's parent entities

[michib]

Hello,

I'm working to a custom extension used for practice management. I created a new entity practice via Resource/metadata/entityDefs and now I would like to add to it task support. In EntityDefs for the Practice I added in links:

"tasks": {
"type": "hasChildren",
"entity": "Task",
"foreign": "parent",
"layoutRelationshipsDisabled": true },

And added layout json files. This makes the task pane but when I try to add a task to the practice the parent selection isn't showing Practice as an option. I can add this new entity as option via in Administration » Entity Manager » Task » Fields but I'd like to make it happen as an extension. So I tried adding a custom Task.json file to extend the parent list inside the extension tree (this works for adding custom extension fields to standard Crm entities). I tried to extend the parent entities list via __APPEND__ element:

 {     "fields": {        
"parent": {            
"type": "linkParent",             "
entityList": ["__APPEND__", "Practice"]        
}} }

Unfortunately it is not working; when I create the task it does not allows "Practice" entity type as parent. Where am I faulting? Is it possibile to extend task's parent entities via custom extension?


thanks, best regards, Michele

Hi,

 {
     "fields": {
         "parent": {
             "entityList": ["__APPEND__", "Practice"]
         }
     }
 }

works well for modules
but if you have this field in custom entityDefs, entityDefs the modules could be skipped because of priority
