Show lookup value descriptions
------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-3555
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3555
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: framework
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Bilgin Ibryam
Assignee: Bilgin Ibryam
Priority: Minor
Fix For: SVN trunk
Attachments: lookup_description.patch
I did a small extention to lookup autocompleter code and now it is able to load
description for the lookup field values.
For example when you load a form with lookup fields, currently you see only the
Id in the lookup field (which is not very descriptive). After applying the
patch, you will see also a description, next to lookup button. The description
value is the same one that appears in the autocompler and it is specifiued for
in each lookup screen.
You will see the description also when a value is returned from a lookup screen
or when a value is selected from autocompleter or when you type a valid Id in
the lookup field.
Internally it does an ajax call to get the description for the supplied value
in lookup field.
I'd like to know if you want to see this feature in ofbiz and/or if you have
any ideas to improve it.
