Hello,
Actually, I work on Party component to import Neogia functionality on
OFBiz trunk. I create some addons use by the Neogia that apply on OFBiz
trunk with addon-manager and I submit to you the functionality.
My first addons add a partyName field to Party entity. Why ?
In Ofbiz, you have two partyType : Person and PartyGroup, when you want
have the name, it's necessary to call Person or PartyGroup company, and
on many form we have (as lookupPartyName):
< field name="firstName">..</
< field name="lastName">..</
< field name="groupName">..</
With unique partyName field we have :
< field name="partyName">..</
This field is populate by secas when Person or PartyGroup is create/update
An other advantage, when we add a new PartyType, we just create populate
service for this new type and not operate modification on many form.
It's easier to manage customer specific.
Are you interested by this feature ? I can create a Jira and prepare a
patch to apply on OFBiz trunk.
Nicolas
