multi relate in edit view

[zaska]

Hi folks,

I have 2 custom modules builded with the 'module builder' - services and contracts. They are related each other. In module "Services" I have for example "service1", "service2", etc. In module "Contracts" I have "contract1", "contract2", etc. When create and save a new contract then easy can relate it to some services (in detail view). But this is a 2 stage, I want to relate it when creating the new contract (in the edin view). Also to relate one contract to n services. In the default modules there's a field to relate to other module (the one with select and clear buttons) but it's for only one relationship (i.e. Contact to one Account). My question is how to make such field so I can relate my new contract to many services in the edit view?

Cheers

Hi all

You need to manually edit the vardefs of the modules and add the fields (id and name) and the relationships which implement them.
Sugar defaults to create a single field and relationship related to another module, so it is necessary to understand the logic behind and create yourself the fields and relationships.
You can do that in the Module Builder folder custom/modulebuilder/packages/<PackageName>/modules/<ModuleName>.

Yes, vardefs is the first step. Can you give me some hints

Hi, André, thanks a lot for your response.
I think I will spend more time studying Sugar first so as to feel confident enough to go on with this issue
May be in some time I will be able to do it...
Thanks again,
