  • Virtual Fields

    Hello,

    i would find it useful if we could have virtual fields were we can put a formula in it.
    For example if i have an entity A, that can linked to entitiy B or C, and want to display a field from B or C.

    I know this can be workaround with entity formula and an extra field when entity A (B, C) is saved, but this feels weird.

    for using a field of related records you can create foreign field in Entity Manager.
    Also you can create notStorable fields with calculation manually in entityDefs
    There is an entity having 2 float fields, A & B how can i set the filter of the report to show record which value of field A is greater than that of field B?

      Can you help me with the notStorable field?
      How looks the formula for this: "select": "<select field A if not empty else select field B>".

        I have a select statement where I want to make the select conditional like this: IFNULL(field_a, field_a, field_b) so that it checks field a. If a is null then the select would be field b. Is that

            Hi

            It does not work for type "link", no error message in espo-log, but also the displayed field does not contains anything.

            "
            "visitAt": {
            "type": "link",
            "readOnly": true,
            "notStorable": true,
            "select": "COALESCE(Besuchsbericht.accountName, Besuchsbericht.firma)"
            },
            "

            Both fields have the same "type" of "link", but i just got an emtpy field back.
            Any hint?

            I tried such a field for two fields of type "varchar" and it works.

              "type": "link"
              link field type requires values for {fieldName}Name and {fieldName}Id fields

              but weird, that it is worked.
              do you really have the table Besuchsbericht with columns accountName and firma?

                Hi Tanja,

                i checked it again,
                yes, for type "varchar" it works, but the COALESCE dont work correct and delivers everytime the 2nd value. Changed it to IF,
                for example "select": "IF(b = '', a, b)"
                and it works correct. But changing a or b on detail view and returning to list view dont refresh the result. A reload is needed. But thats ok.

                Unfortanly for links i cant get this working, i tried to change from "link" to "belongTo", but no success. Here are the fields definitions, maybe you see a thing:

                Yes, the fields accountName and firma are there.
                Besuchsbericht.json:

                Code:
                {
