----------------------------------

I can see this being a useful party Id option for implementations where duplicate party creation occur frequently.  need to pay attention to name length though

----------------------------------

good thought.
a new challenge, how to find the lenght of a entity to computer the input field
so you can do some string reductions before inputing to the service.

----------------------------------

ModelFieldType.stringLength()  ??  or doing something with ModelFieldType.getSqlType() as it looks to be what is returned for webtools' entityref sqlType column

Wojciech Gdela commented on OFBIZ-148:
--------------------------------------

There are many more ways to generate partyId:
- first letter of firstname + lastname (wgdela)
- first letter of firstname + dot + lastname (w.gdela)
- first letter of firstname + dot + two letters of lastname (wgd)
- etc

So i think that maybe better option will be to allow user enter any string as partyId (just another form field) and not only in person form, but also in other types of party forms.

Additionaly there might be a javascript function that automatically creates partyId (in arbitrary choosen way), after user has filled firstname and lastname. It would go like this:
- user enters firstname and lastname
- the script proposes party id (without form submit)
- if the user is not happy with id, he changes it
- user submits form

----------------------------------

So mayber have a format string that can be customised by the developer(consultant) in a property file.
they can define how first and last name are parsed.

I have not had good experience with letting the user actually fill the partyID.
Lot of customer support everytime they do it.

using the Bsh file is a better choice than javascript IMHO.

I was actually thinking of making this a service. so it could be called from any place to create the party ID.
