New field type "email" not available on Base Plus Entity creation

[nunos]

Good afternoon,

I was looking to create a couple of new fields type on a custom entity to insert email addresses but the option is not available on the field list.

Is there a way to create this?

Thanks,

NunoS

You have to do coding! No easy to do tutorial yet, and I'm not sure if v8.0 can "export" the coding as an extension to do this. I'm a bit lost with the 3rd Party Extension world at the moment so not sure if there is one where you can buy to have this feature.

The email is a very special field (one of the reason why I chose to use EspoCRM). I remember and thought there was a tutorial on how to create this field but I can't find it, even look at my "Wiki" https://github.com/o-data/EspoCRM-Le...nd-Design/wiki
but found nothing there.

There is a fairly simple way, but it is valid for entities with Company and Person type. When creating these entities, fields with the Email and Phone type (and all functionality) will be created automatically. If you are new to your Base Plus entity, maybe you should just create another one? Or create the Company/Person entity in parallel and relate to your Base Plus one?

Hi,
if not forget, you just need add

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/8660ceac551123d2a5abee17ab93ebc48a8feab5/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Lead.json#L105

same for phone field.
if not forget, no need more customisation
