Removing "reports to"

[harlancrystal]

CentOS, SugarCRM 4.5.1 and 5.0 CE, apache 2.x, php 5, mysql 5

I have three users A, B, C.

I set it so A reports to B, B reports to C, C reports to A.

I thought this would be a good way to make sure the three top managers all keep on top of each other, but now sugar is complaining about it.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to remove the "reports to" field without setting to someone else.

I'd basically like to make this field blank again.

How?

This looks like a bug that was introduced with Version 5.0. I checked version 4.51g and you were able to clear this field by clicking on the "Clear" button that was visible when the Users popup was displayed. This button no longer exists in Version 5.0.


You can fix by adding this line of code in the modules\Users\EditView.html file

<input type="button" name="btn_clr_reports_to" tabindex="1" title="Clear [Alt+C]" accessKey="C" class="button" onclick="this.form.reports_to_id.value = ''; this.form.reports_to_name.value = '';" value="Clear">

so that the table row that shows the Reports To field looks like this (around line 322 in Sugar 5 GA)

				<tr>
					<td class="dataLabel"><slot>{MOD.LBL_REPORTS_TO}</slot></td>
					<td class="dataField"><slot><input type="text" readonly="readonly" tabindex='5' name="reports_to_name" id="reports_to_name" value="{REPORTS_TO_NAME}" />
						<input type="hidden" name="reports_to_id" id="reports_to_id" value="{REPORTS_TO_ID}" tabindex="240"/>
						<input type="button" name="btn_clr_reports_to" tabindex="1" title="Clear [Alt+C]" accessKey="C" class="button" onclick="this.form.reports_to_id.value = ''; this.form.reports_to_name.value = '';" value="Clear">
						{REPORTS_TO_CHANGE_BUTTON}</slot></td>
					<td class="dataLabel"><slot>{MOD.LBL_OTHER_PHONE}</slot></td>
					<td  class="dataField"><slot><input name='phone_other' type="text" tabindex='6' size='20' maxlength='25' value='{PHONE_OTHER}'></slot></td>
				</tr>
