select_records

select_records(field_name, all_records)

domain: client

language: javascript

class Item class

Description

Use the select_records method to add records to an item by selecting them from the lookup item of a field.

For example, this method is used in the Demo application to add tracks to an invoice by selecting them from Tracks catalog.

Parameters:

• The field_name parameter is a field name of a lookup field of the item

• If the all_records parameter is set to true, all selected records are added, otherwise the method omits existing records (they were selected earlier).

Example

function on_view_form_created(item) {
  if (item.master) {
      item.view_form.find('#new-btn').off('click.task').on('click', function() {
          item.select_records('track');
      });
}

The above code will display Tracks catalog with all buttons defined for the template. To hide the elements, we might use below code:

function on_view_form_created(item) {
    if (item.view_form.closest('.modal').length) {
        item.view_form.find("#edit-btn").hide();
        item.view_form.find("#delete-btn").hide();
        item.view_form.find("#new-btn").hide();
    }
}
