Related action in read only grid

Capt_Barbosa

Hi All,

I have a scenario where i have to populate related action in one of the column in read only grid. For instance, the row with identifier 1 i will populate related action for identifier 2 in that specific column. The issue am facing is that even though i can open that related action with identifier 2, the name of related action is still showing like related action of identifier 1, 

Note: Am only facing this issue when am using a!recordData as source but I could get desired result when am using a!query record type.

You can try this scenario making one value in column as a!recordActionItem(action: record action, identifier: fv!identifier+1

Please suggest if am missing anything here.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi 
    Please try below logic in Interface

    a!cardLayout(

    Am getting same related action label name when am using a!recorddata even though am passing correct identifier. But only label is showing in wrong way, when i click on RA i could open the correct RA.

    Not sure why RA label not displaying properly when using a!recordData as source.

    Below is the way i have configured RA Display name

    a!recordData is not meant to be used outside of grids. Reference: docs.appian.com/.../fnc_system_recorddata.html

    Why do you increase the identifier by 1?

    Yes.  I just declared in local variable and using it in data parameter of read only grid. Even if i directly put a!recordData in data parameter am facing the same issue.


    Unknown said:

    I just showed the example. Even if the identifier is changed, the related action display name is not changing if we are using a!recordData as grid source.

    Did you try to just display the values outside a record action?

  • 0 in reply to Stefan Helzle

    Not sure if i understood what you mentioned. Anyway I have populated corresponding identifier in separate columns to understand what am passing as identifier for RA. In first row, even it is different identifier, RA display name is same. 


    Please let me know if this is helpful

    If i just change the source of data by using a!queryrecordtype instead of a!record data, am getting desired result as shown below

    Does any of these columns include your "+1" logic?

    , is that something you can help us with? It really seems weird.

    To demonstrate am using +1 logic in all columns. Sharing code below

    a!gridField(
  emptyGridMessage: "No data available",

    ),

        display: "LABEL"
      ),

    )
  },

)


    It doesn't need to be adding +1 to identifier. Even if i pass any random identifier for related action, the display name of RA remains same like specific row's RA.

    The problem with that "+1" logic is, that it complicates the whole topic unnecessarily. And you want others to be able to reproduce that issue easily.
