Multi-Select List

[jagjit]

Hi

Is it possible that multi-select items can be displayed comined in TextBox . Suppose user selects ItemA,Items B from Multiselect list then it is displayed in textbox as ItemA,ItemB

Thanx

Yes it is possible, try the field type multienum. It works exactly as you describled.

Yes, it is possible, but I believe those options are better rendered on multienum field anyway.
If you really want to do that you can:

• create a custom view.detail.php on your module;
• inside this custom view.detail.php implement function preDisplay() in order to modify content of field;
• edit detailviewdefs.php in order to modify the type of field on layout to "readonly"

Cheers

If you are developer you can do it with customCode and Javascript or you could use logic hook (before save).

Example from Sugar Developer Guide – 6.1.0

Logic Hooks
Here is some sample code for a simple example of using the logic hooks. This example adds a
time stamp to the description field of the Media Inquiry every time the record is saved.
First, create the file AddTimeStamp.php with the following contents.

 <?php
//prevents directly accessing this file from a web browser
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
class AddTimeStamp {
  function StampIt(& $focus, $event){
  global $current_user;
  $focus->description .= &#8220;\nSaved on ”. date(“Y-m-d g:i a”). “ by ”. $current_user->user_name;
 }
}
?>  

Next register this custom function by creating the file logic_hooks.php with the following
contents.

 <?php
// Do not store anything in this file that is not part of the array or the hook version. This file will
// be automatically rebuilt in the future.
$hook_version = 1;
$hook_array = Array();
// position, file, function
$hook_array['before_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'custom', 'custom/modules/Media/AddTimeStamp.php ','AddTimeStamp',
'StampIt');
?>
