How to update options after sync in Javascript?

Hi Harald Kampen 

I would create a custom enum field (custom/clients/base/fields/enum/), override the method loadEnumOptions in order to inject into self.items (the options returned from app_list_strings) the option fetched from database if it is not on app_list_strings anymore. This can be accomplished inside the "success" event of app.api.enumOptions.

This way you can remove from app_list_strings the obsolete options. This strategy work for all enum fields so you don't need to worry about customizing every record.js/create.js.

Hi André,

that's the other option but does not change the main problem that I have the values are loaded after rendering.

Using this does not have the value location_c, and I don't know if I could use the sync event in this case to render again after loading the bean:

({
     extendsFrom: 'EnumField',

     initialize: function (options) {
          this._super('initialize', [options])
          this.type = 'enum'
     },
     
     loadEnumOptions: function (fetch, callback) {
          var self = this,
          location_c = this.model.get('location_c'),
          skipList = ['dus6.2'],
          i,
          list = app.lang.getAppListStrings('data_center_list');

          if (typeof location_c == 'undefined') location_c = [];

          Object.keys(list).forEach(function(key) {
               for (i in skipList) {
                    if (key == skipList[i] && ! location_c.includes(key)) {
                         delete list[key]
                    }
               }
          })

        self.items = list
        callback.call(self);
     }
})

Regards

EvilPeri EvilPeri gave me a solution here some years ago that has been working for me, but I have multiple dropdown lists defined and switch which one is used. It may not be what you are looking for but it may give you some ideas:

There is a modification for 7.6 in the thread as well as a solution by Pedro Bazan at the end of the thread.

Hi,

this._render() works. I found a different solution. Cause the callback function is not available on the sync event, I save it in the field object.

({
     extendsFrom: 'EnumField',
     
     callback: null,

     initialize: function (options) {
          this._super('initialize', [options])
          this.type = 'enum'
          this.model.on('sync', this.loadEnumOptions, this)  
     },
     
     loadEnumOptions: function (fetch, callback) {
          var self = this,
          location_c = this.model.get('location_c'),
          skipList = ['dus6.2'],
          i,
          list = app.lang.getAppListStrings('data_center_list');

          if (typeof callback == 'function') this.callback = callback

          if (typeof location_c == 'undefined') location_c = [];

          Object.keys(list).forEach(function(key) {
               for (i in skipList) {
                    if (key == skipList[i] && ! location_c.includes(key)) {
                         delete list[key]
                    }
               }
          })

        this.items = list
        this.callback.call(this)
     }
})
