'Create New' In Selectors - Functional Specifications

Overview

This project intends to add the capability in the selectors of the creation of new records.

In order to achieve it, the idea is to attach a process to the selector definition. This process should be in charge of:

• Handle, in case that exists, the current written value in the selector input or in the selector filters in the popup.
• Do the creation of the new record in the instance that corresponds
• Add and select the created record in the selector form item

There is a real code example of a process that does this steps in the Technical Documentation

Attaching a process to a selector

There is a new flag in 'Process Definition' window called 'Can Add Records to a Selector'. By selecting this flag, the process will be available to be selected in the 'Defined Selector' window

Inside 'Reference' -> 'Defined Selector' window there is a new 'Process for Adding Records' combo that allows to choose any process with the 'Can Add Records to a Selector' flag set as true

Visualization (UI)

The selector form items with a process attached to them will be shown like:

And the selector popup like:

By pressing the '+' icon or the 'Create New' button, the process popup will be opened. The title of this popup is 'Add ' + the displayed name of the selector.
