Question related to contact relation in TASKS

[emillod]

Hello Guys
i'm not sure, but there is a contact field in TASKS which is link to contacts entity.
And it's read only. How it should work? I want just to mark which contact order specific task.

I tried to check how it's working by just choosing account and save, but contact field is still empty.

Anyone can explain?

Hello,

Basically contact link to any entity is useful for the portal, to test it just create a portal and portal user that linked to contact, then you create a task using that portal user and will see the contact filled with the portal user's linked contact.

If you like to make this link accessible you can override some defs in the Task entityDefs file like this:



{ "fields": { "contact": { "readOnly": false } } }
