Jacques Le Roux updated OFBIZ-3932:
-----------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> We can't use autocompletion in lookups with a dependent field
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-3932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3932
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Jacques Le Roux
> Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
> Priority: Minor
>
> We can't use autocompletion in lookups with a dependent field. For instance a
> Name for the lookups field and an hidden field for the Id (or vice versa
> which makes less sense, if any). This is not a problem OOTB, but in the
> Example component where such a sctructure is used (2d lookup)
> I tried a clumsy solution at r993508, but David had to revert it because it
> was breaking all current lookups OOTB.
> This solution was based on a couple of names for the fields. I suggested a
> slightly better solution by using fields positions instead of names. It's
> less intrusive, especially if we put some tests, but still unsure.
> Of course the best method would be to use the description-field-name. But it
> would need to change the current lookup structure. Because the autocomplete
> feature is Ajax based and either using Prototype/Scriptaculous or jQuery we
> don't have the possibility to change the value of the hidden dependent field
> ([more in this thread|http://markmail.org/message/7adznlrdmdmwx2tr].
> Note: I had a look at [extraParams in jQuery which handles Dependencies
> between
> fields|http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/autocomplete#Dependencies_between_fields].
> It's great but what we need is other way around. Here you define how the
> load is done on the autcompleted field and we want to set a related (ID)
> value on an hidden field after the user has selected the value (Name) in the
> autcompleted field.
> At least it is what I found so far...
