Change type of default field

[Akayoko]

Hi. I have a problem. It is necessary to change field type name module Cases with text on dropDown.I have added next lines at vardefs.php:

 $dictionary['Case']['fields']['name']['type'] = 'enum';
$dictionary['Case']['fields']['name']['options'] = 'name_list'; 
  

The field type changed, but in detailview heading undertakes from a field ' name ', i.e. key instead of value.
How to make so that in heading 'value' was substituted?

Thanks!

You need to edit costom/Extension/modules/cases/ext/vardefs/vardefs.ext.php instead, then go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

I suggested two things:
1. Use the value and text with the same value in your dropdown options defs. (But just if it is possible)
2. Or, maybe the better solution, create a non-db field to be displayed in place of type field when it is displayed in detail view. Then this new non-db field could has its value computed, and display the correct text according with the stored value.
