problem : custom field editing in studio

[tudz]

hey,

In studio in can't edit some custom fields
I'd like to change them to required, mass update,audit...but all the checkboxes and other fields are disabled
of course I should be able to edit these from the source code, but I want the end user to be able to edit them from the studio

can anyone help?

Is there any pattern with those custom fields? Same type maybe?

A screenshot of your Studio and problematic custom fields would be helpful.

this happens in a custom module
I don't think the field type matters, I mean if I add a custom field now , I am able to edit it, but I have some old ones that don't behave the same ...and there's a bunch of 'em

but wait , I guess I got it
these fields don't appear to be custom(there's no "_c" at the end of them)
still I'd like them to be editable
can I do this from the vardefs.php?
and if so, what should I add/remove there?

Hi, tudz

It is not a custom field.
It is a native field of a custom module.
All native field can't be edited through studio, bu you can modify its properties creating an extended vardefs.

There are articles in the sugarwiki explaining how to do that.

Yeah, these aren't custom fields. We plan to put support into Studio for modifying mass update, audit, etc for default fields.

In the meantime, here is an upgrade-safe way to set these values:

create a new file at:
.\custom\Extension\modules\Accounts\Ext\Vardefs\cu stom.php


In this file, put the following:

 <?php
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['massupdate'] = true;
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['audited'] = true;
 $dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['required'] = true;
?>  

Then go to:

• Admin->Repair->Quick Repair and Rebuild->Repair
• Admin->Repair->Rebuild Relationships
