Hello friend,

The only difference that I could tell between a Base entity and a BasePlus entity is that BasePlus has links to Meeting, Task, Email and Call and Base entity does not.

To transform a Base entity into a BasePlus entity try this:

In your custom entity entityDefs script (for example: custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/YourEntity.json), add the following code under the section "links":

"links": {

   (existing code)

   "meetings": {
      "type": "hasMany",
      "entity": "Meeting",
      "foreign": "parent",
      "layoutRelationshipsDisabled": true
   },
   "calls": {
      "type": "hasMany",
      "entity": "Call",
      "foreign": "parent",
      "layoutRelationshipsDisabled": true
   },
   "tasks": {
      "type": "hasChildren",
      "entity": "Task",
      "foreign": "parent",
      "layoutRelationshipsDisabled": true
   },
   "emails": {
      "type": "hasChildren",
      "entity": "Email",
      "foreign": "parent",
      "layoutRelationshipsDisabled": true
   }
}

Add the following code to the custom entity clientDefs script (for example: custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/YourEntity.json):

"sidePanels": {
   "detail": [
      {
         "name": "activities",
         "label": "Activities",
         "view": "crm:views/record/panels/activities",
         "aclScope": "Activities"
      },
      {
         "name": "history",
         "label": "History",
         "view": "crm:views/record/panels/history",
         "aclScope": "Activities"
      },
      {
         "name": "tasks",
         "label": "Tasks",
         "view": "crm:views/record/panels/tasks",
         "aclScope": "Task"
      }
   ]
}

After making the above modifications, clear cache and rebuild.

Best Regards

Many Thanks friend

i think one more think to do :

in custom/Entities : change Base to BasePlus .. i don't know if it's important

....extends \Espo\Core\Templates\Entities\BasePlus

[telecastg]

No need, both Espo\Core\Templates\Entities\Base and Espo\Core\Templates\Entities\BasePlus extend from \Espo\Core\ORM\Entity without implementing any class methods, so they are identical

[esforim]

There was another guide on this topic too but telecastg explain it much more clearly.

--- Riskier method as follow:
Considering if you delete an entity the record doesn't get deleted... I wonder if this trick can help... Delete entiy, create entity with same name but this time as BasePlus, it might work or it might crash.
