How to enable/disable "Disable Inline Edit" in entity manager

[murugappan]

Hi,

How to we disable or enable the "Disable Inline Edit" option in entity manager for a field based on a value in another field. This is similar to the "required" and "display" conditions. Eg. We want disable inline edit for "Status" field if the "Claim Type" field's value is "Admission". For all other Claim Types we want to enable inline edit.

We face some cumbersome problems when we allow inline edit for all fields as staff intentionally or lazily skip updating related fields.

Appreciate any help (all the help).

Tq.

Hi,

There is no functionality to disable/enable inline edit. It should be possible somehow with some tricks but I never tried. I always resorted to setting it disabled permanently for such situations.

Hi murugappan,

The latest release of the enhanced-dynamic-logic plug in includes the ability to enable or disable inline edit for any field easily through the use of the custom enhanced-dynamic-handler class like this:

Background:

- We have a "Collection Issue" entity which contains fields "pastDueRent" and "lateFee"
- We want "lateFee" to be enabled for inline editing only when "pastDueRent" is higher than $100

Step 1: Download and install the enhanced-dynamic-logic plugin https://github.com/telecastg/enhance...ic-for-espocrm

Step 2: Create script client/custom/src/collection-issue-dynamic-handler.js

define('custom:collection-issue-dynamic-handler', ['enhanced-dynamic-logic:enhanced-dynamic-handler'], function (Dep) {

    return Dep.extend({

        init: function () {
            this.controlFields();

            // invoke controlFields method every time pastDueRent changes
            this.recordView.listenTo(
                this.model, 'change:pastDueRent', this.controlFields.bind(this)
            );
        },

        controlFields: function () {
            if (this.model.get('pastDueRent') > 100) {
                this.setFieldInlineEditEnabled('lateFee');
            } else {
                this.setFieldInlineEditDisabled('lateFee');
            }
        }

    });
});

Step 3: Modify the custom clientDefs metadata file for Collection Issue to let Espo know that the custom dynamic-handler class needs to be invoked when setting up the entity detail display
custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/CollectionIssue.json

    "dynamicHandler": "custom:collection-issue-dynamic-handler",

Step 4: clear cache and rebuild.

Best Regards
