Let's say I have a simple D2W app (using wonder) with two entities,
Person and Addresses which are related with a one to many
relationship.
In the edit page for the person entity is there a way to add a
"Create new Address" action to create a new address entity? I've
gone through all the components and all I can do is choose an
address that is already created, which doesn't make sense for the
workflow. Do I need to create a component with this action? If so,
how do you do that?
I'm assuming you're using the default Wonder Neutral look. You should
be able to do this with an EditRelationshipPage. You'll need to
create a rule like:
(task = 'edit' and smartRelationship.isToMany = 1) => componentName =
"ERD2WEditToManyFault"
Once you do that, you'll see you know longer get the () beside
Addresses when you're creating a person. Instead, you should see a
WOBrowser with a little edit icon beside it. In my example here, I'm
using Manufacturer <->> Products, but the premise is the same...
When you create a person, click the little edit icon by the Address
relationship, and it takes you to a EditRelationship page. You can
then click the "New" button which will allow you to create a new
Address.
This will not be visible if your address entity is readonly. If you
do not see the button, you may want to add a rule like:
*true* => isEntityEditable = "true"
That of course makes all your entites editable all the time, so you
probably won't leave it that way, but it is false globally by
default. For your testing, turn it on. Anyway, moving right along...
After you've clicked "New" and entered your address info, you should
be able to "Save" the address.
Even though your person relationship is probably mandatory, don't
worry about creating the Person relationship just yet.... You should
now see a new Address in the WOBrowser. Now click the Return button in
the EditRelationship page which will take you back to your EditPerson
page.
At this point, the EditPerson page will be complaining about any
missing required info if you have any... like a name, so go ahead and
enter your remaining info, click "Save" and you're done :-) Just
don't forget to select your newly created address before clicking save!
