Creating new Form to TablePage [message #1708600]

Hi,

For instance, if I have a TablePage with the primary key of type String and want to create a form with a Form Id of type String.
If you follow the recommendations of the tutorial to create a new form for the TablePage, you will see that it creates a default form with the primary key of type Long. Although I would like to take the form of type String.

I decide it so,
- Create a form without a primary key.
- After, I add a new variable CompanyNr to the form with the primary key of type String.

I have a question,
Is Form Wizard detect which type of variable primary key it appoints to the form?
Is this a bug or is it the way it should be?

Thanks.

i don't think the Form Wizard detect which type of variable primary key it appoints to the form, i tried before with Int and i change the type of setters and getters in my code, you can open a bug for this one.

Yes the "Form Id" option of the "New Form" wizard is limited to Long and to Id ending with "Nr".
index.php/fa/23325/0/

Creating a new String variable after the form creation is the way to go (For example "PersonId" for this example).

What works, is that when you create a new menu (for example an EditPerson Menu) in the Table Page, the value contained in the selected primary key column (PersonIdColumn in this case) will be transferred to the form variable (String PersonId variable in this case).

@Order(10.0)
public class EditPersonMenu extends AbstractExtensibleMenu {

  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredText() {
    return TEXTS.get("EditPerson");
  }

  @Override
  protected void execAction() throws ProcessingException {
    PersonForm form = new PersonForm();
    form.setPersonId(getPersonIdColumn().getSelectedValue()); // <== Here
    form.startModify();
    form.waitFor();
    if (form.isFormStored()) {
      reloadPage();
    }
  }
}
