Address Format

[iscon]

I changed

/client/src/views/fields/address.js and
/client/res/templates/fields/address/edit.tpl

in order to edit/show addresses in the correct format for Germany/Austria/Switzerland. How can this be made upgrade safe?

Create:

1. custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/fields/address.json

{
   "view": "custom:views/fields/address"
} 

2. client/custom/src/views/fields/address.js

Espo.define('custom:views/fields/address', 'views/fields/address', function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({
     editTemplate: 'custom:fields/address/edit'
  });
}); 

3. Create client/custom/res/templates/fields/address/edit.tpl

I didn't test but I believe everything is correct.

BTW in 3.7.0 address string for detail view is generated in javascript function.

I did all the changes mentioned above and detected that this affects the billing address but didn't change the shipping address.

There is a file (client/modules/crm/src/views/account/fields/shipping-address.js) that adds the button "Copy from Billing Address" to the view and it's based on Views.Fields.Address (but not on the custom view).

Therefore, how to change this (upgrade safe) so that the shipping address is based on the custom view?

You can make shipping address to look to custom.

Do you suggest to change the file client/modules/crm/src/views/account/fields/shipping-address.js?

Originally:

...
Espo.define('Crm:Views.Account.Fields.ShippingAddress', 'Views.Fields.Address', function (Dep) {
...

Changed:

...
Espo.define('Crm:Views.Account.Fields.ShippingAddress', '[B]Custom:[/B]Views.Fields.Address', function (Dep) {
...

This works but I guess that with one of the next patches this change might be overwritten, right?

Would be great if you can provide the information where to put this to be upgrade safe...

You can specify custom view name in entityDefs and then create view class in custom directory that will inherit existing view class.

Thanks for your support - now it's working as expected!
