How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

Hello,

I am trying to build a simple form;

1) I have a Person Entity with PK as personId

2) I have a Hobby Entity with PK as Hobbyid

3) I have a Person_Hobby Entity with two FKs of above both.

I have a form that attempts to Create the 3rd Entity.

As a part of the form I am allow the dropdown to select the Person Name
(The Person name comes from Person table)

<field name="guestId" title="${uiLabelMap.PersonId}">
<drop-down>
<entity-options entity-name="HelloPerson" description="${firstName}" />
</drop-down>
</field>

Next field element I attempt to fetch the gender of the Person again from
the Person Table something like this

<field name="guestId" name="gender"
entry-name="guestId"><display-entity.....>

I am getting an error that gender is not a "PK" which is actually true. I
cant set the name as "guestId" again because the field with same names if
repeated, the last one takes effect. How do I get teh gender frm the person
table ?

Thanks.

Re: How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

Hey Murali,

Seems like this is the problem:

<field name="guestId" name="gender"
entry-name="guestId"><display-entity

I think the form widget <display-entity> element is only supposed to be
used for fields that are PKs. Since gender is not a PK field, an entity
cannot be found. If gender is defined in the entity that is being used
by the form, then replacing <display-entity> with <display> seems like
it would resolve the problem by correctly displaying the gender of the
person.

Sorry Murali,

I think I'm mistaken. Please post the entire form widget code.

Here goes the Form Widget Christian. Have made the couple of elements in
question in Bold.

<form name="EditPersonHobby" type="single" target="updatePersonhobby"

Re: How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

Hey Murali,

If gender is defined in HelloPersonHobby then as stated in my first
response, there is no need for <display-entity> so <display> should
replace it. Also, the name of the field should be changed to gender
instead of guestId.

Re: How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

The Gender is a Field in the "Person" Entity.

The HelloPersonHobby Entity just has two fields 1) PersonId 2) HobbyId.
Both FKs the first one to HelloPerson Entity (that contains the field
gender) and the second field FK to a entity called Hobby.

So , in this context, where, I need to extract the data from a related
entity (master table) and show multiple fields of the related table, during
Create/Update of a transaction table is what I am trying to do.

Appreciate some thoughts on how this can be modelled in a form widget. I am
sure this is a common need, and I am also sure there should be some way.

Thank you.

Cheers
murali

Re: How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

Hey Murali,

In that case, the <display-entity> entity-name should be set to "Person"
instead of "HelloPerson" since it's the entity containing the gender field.

Something like:

<field use-when="helloPersonHobby!=null @and guestId!=null"
name="gender" ><display-entity
entity-name="Person" description="${gender}"></
display-entity></field>*

Re: How do I the same field PK more than once on the form

Murali,

Better to create a view-entity to join the two tables, so that you have all
info you required.
