Custom edit task

[mjunior]

Hi there,

I wonder how can I add a custom field into the edit task in order to save extra info into the description.
I tried to add it into edit html and then into edit php but it seems to have extra pages where I need to reference the new custom fild to be passed forward that I´m missing...

Any help is welcome.

tks

Hello,

What version of SugarCRM do you use?

I was trying to add the new input value into $focus so I can update table including previous description value
as in:$xtpl->assign("DESCRIPTION", $focus->description.$focus->newvalue);
Running 4.5.1 version here.

Hi there,

so far I added the new input field into html edit;
added te new var into task.php (class Task extends SugarBean);
added the new referente to input into field_arrays.php( $fields_array);
added it´s reference at editview.php (if(isset($_REQUEST['newvalue'])) {
$focus->solution = ($_REQUEST['newvalue']);
} )

added update reference to this new value at editview.php ($xtpl->assign("DESCRIPTION", $focus->description.$focus->newvalue)

Not sure if the transition to index.php carry the new value though...

Hello,

Create a logic_hook before_save add following line,

 $bean->description .= $bean-><YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD>;

So are u suggesting me to use:
$xtpl->assign("DESCRIPTION", $focus->description.= $focus->newvalue);instead of previous update string I sent?
This results in the same response...seems like my new value isn´t available at editview.php...
Maybe lost in some transition between index.php or other I´m not sure...
