Question about lookup tag in form widget

[Daors Islami]

Hello OFBiz community!

I started to check the execution on how a find form works and saw that in a field
there is the lookup tag and has a target:

<field position="2" name="partyIdTo" parameter-name="partyId" required-field="true"><lookup target-form-name="LookupPartyName"/></field>

When I check this field in web browser with inspect element there are so many attributes like:
        name="partyId"
        size="25"
        id="0_lookupId_NewSalesInvoice_partyIdTo"
        data-lookup-ajax-enabled="true"
        data-lookup-presentation="layer"
        data-lookup-request-url="LookupPartyName"
        data-lookup-form-name="NewSalesInvoice"
        data-lookup-optional-target=""
        data-lookup-width="640"
        data-lookup-height="500"
        data-lookup-position="topleft"
        data-lookup-modal="true"
        data-lookup-show-description="true"
        data-lookup-default-minlength="2"
        data-lookup-default-delay="300"
        data-lookup-args=""
        autocomplete="off"
        data-lookup-ajax= url="NewSalesInvoice_partyIdTo,https://localhost:8443/ar/control/LookupPartyName;jsessionid=188FCECFADC720E660C03A5D3462E5F5.jvm1,ajaxLookup=Y&amp;searchValueFieldName=partyId"

My question is does lookup target adds these attributes automatically? and if so how the process of the ajax call is being made, like where is the jquery function that is calling this url, if you could help me explaining this process it would mean so much to me.

Thank you so much for your time,
Best regards,
Daors

Hi Daors,

I'm sorry due to time constrain I am providing a quick answer.

The lookup field is rendered from renderLookupField macro which you can
find in HtmlFormMacroLibrary.ftl file.

HTH!
