Where from the field id is getting populated in an xml file form?

[Deepika1234]

In CommForms.xml we have the following sub-forms:-


<field name="roleTypeIdFrom" widget-style="length1">
            <drop-down no-current-selected-key="_NA_">
                <entity-options description="${description}" entity-name="RoleType" key-field-name="roleTypeId">
                    <entity-order-by field-name="description"/>
                </entity-options>
            </drop-down>
        </field>

        <field name="roleTypeIdTo" position="2" widget-style="length1" >
            <drop-down no-current-selected-key="_NA_">
                <entity-options description="${description}" entity-name="RoleType" key-field-name="roleTypeId">
                    <entity-order-by field-name="description"/>
                </entity-options>
            </drop-down>
        </field>


The view source we get

Hi Deepika,

As i am getting you want to know that how the id of the field changes in
the view source.

The form is rendered through MacroFormRenderer.java,  if we talk about
DropDown then in the file you find a method renderDropDownField() which
is used to render dropdown. here you see

String id = modelFormField.getCurrentContainerId(context);

so the id which you see in the view source is actually set from here...
or you can also trace further...

If you specify your own id name then it gets displayed else it is
generated as follows
 
 see : ModelFormField.java  ( 1102  )


 public String getIdName() {
        if (UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(idName)) {
            return idName;
        } else {
            *return this.modelForm.getName() + "_" + this.getFieldName();*
        }
    }
