Hi everyone, I'm using Sugar Entreprise v8.0.0

I want to add fields on Massupdate, but the code that I used doesn't work, when I put my package the module appears loading and then doesn't change.

This is my code that I'm using for a field:

<?php
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['massupdate']=true;
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['comments']='State for primary address';
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['duplicate_merge']='enabled';
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['duplicate_merge_dom_value']='1';
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['merge_filter']='disabled';
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['full_text_search']=array (
      'enabled' => '0',
      'boost' => '1',
      'searchable' => false,
   );
   $dictionary['Lead']['fields']['primary_address_state']['calculated']=false;
?>

I've been try that code on custom/Extension/modules/Leads/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_primary_address_state.

And also I want to remove some fields from the Massupdate that doesn't appear in Studio.

Is there a reason you are doing this via code? You can do it in Studio, just go to the module/field in question and check the massupdate checkbox.

Because is a custom field, and doesn't appear the massupdate checkbox in Studio.

Custom fields also have massupdate if the field type allows it.

Your field must be a type that cannot be mass-updated.

From the Developer Guide:

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.9/Data_Framework/Vardefs/

"massupdate : Determines whether the field will show up in the mass-update panel on its module's list view

Some field types are restricted from mass update regardless of this setting."

I read this article from the developer guide:

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Knowledge_Base/Studio_and_Module_Builder/Adding_a_Field_to_Mass_Update/

The type of my field is TextArea but in Studio doesn't appear the massupdate checkbox, and in that article says that I can do it from code, but I tried the code of there and doesn't work in my instance.

Ok, check a couple of things:

custom/Extension/modules/Leads/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_primary_address_state

should be

custom/Extension/modules/Leads/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_primary_address_state.php (probably just an error in your post).

Check permissions on that file.

I use this: in a directory (sometimes in the root of sugar) to make sure all my files and directories have the right permissions:

sudo chown -R apache:apache *

sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

I hope this helps,
Francesca

Hi Eduardo,

If this is a custom field then usually the field ends in _c . So if you added a new field called eduardo in studio the field itself will be eduardo_c.

The location is correct based on the module that you added the field so if you added it in Leads

: custom/Extension/modules/Leads/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_eduardo_c.php

And in the code:

<?php// created: 2015-07-21 14:56:21$dictionary['Leads']['fields']['eduardo_c']['massupdate']=true;
?>
