Custom record edit view not loaded

[Firyo]

Hi there,

I recently did a custom edit view for one of my custom entities.
As I've read, the edit view is used for the creation of an entity and when you click the "Edit" button inside the detail view.


I added a

console.log("here");

inside my

setup()

function and it prints only when creating a new entity, not when I click on the "Edit" button inside the detail view.

Am I missing something ?


Documentation talking about that : https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-views/

I have just tried both record/detail and record/edit and it works for both below is an example for both for account entity, Please note for edit the console.log will be triggered once the Edit button is clicked:

define('custom:views/account/record/detail',
    ['views/record/detail'], function (Dep) {

        return Dep.extend({

            setup: function(){
                Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);
                console.log("Editing in record/detail here");
            },
        });
});​ 

define('custom:views/account/record/edit',
    ['views/record/edit'], function (Edit) {

        return Edit.extend({

            setup: function(){
                Edit.prototype.setup.call(this);
                console.log("Editing record/edit here");
            },
        });
});​

Hi rabii,

First of all, thanks for your answer.

I wanted to ask a question about the differences between 2 methods of editing an entity.

Method 1 :



Method 2 :




Because what I meant was the method 1.
And my

console.log("here"); 

prints when creating a new entity and when I enter the full form in the method 2 (but it doesn't when I click the "Edit" button in the method 1).

Hey,

The difference is each view will extend a view that has certain configuration and functions other than other views. The detail view is kind of parent as the edit view extend the detail and same for detailSmall and editSmall. i suggest that you go through the main views to understand how it works, tbh i am still learning too

1. Edit mode on the detail view. The view is the same but fields are switched to edit mode. Different buttons displayed. URL #EntityType/view/{id}.
2. Edit view. The same view when you create a record. URL #EntityType/edit/{id}.

a question, i have been trying to use editModeDisabled on a custom record/detail but i am not sure i get it is purpose. as i understand on the record/detail custom view if i set thi editModeDisabled = true it should disable the button edit right ?

/**
* Disable edit mode. Can be overridden by an option parameter.
*
* @protected
*/
editModeDisabled = false

From the record/detail view class but i am not sure if that is its purpose. is this correct ?
