Issue adding combo as a dropdown to landing page grid

[Kevin_Barrow]

I am trying to add a combo box to the grid panel of “Erp.UI.POSuggEntry” New PO Suggestions.

The first image shows the options populating because they appear as filter options.

(replaced original image with a redacted version)

However, I cannot open the drop-down list to change the selection.

Here is my configuration:

I have completed the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Added the options via metafx-panel-card-grid > Grid Model > Columns > Erp Editor Model > List
2. I have attempted to start with a ‘fresh’ layer with only the combo box
3. I’m pretty sure the other configurations I tried are wrong, so I will not document them here.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Best regards,

Kevin

Check if there are any data rules making that field read only.
You may have to add an exception

I’m still fairly new to customization development in Kinetic and I’m trying to understand how that would work.

Could you explain how that would work because I am struggling to see it.
Specifically, since the base layer has ‘sysDisableLandingPage’ and ’ POSugg_DisableSugPoDtlLandingPageView’ which are locked, wouldn’t the original filters still disable the field regardless of any filters or copies of filters I make with an exception for my added columns?

It seems like I would need to enable things instead, but I’m not sure how I can accomplish that.

As @klincecum hinted, you need to back up and explain to us what you are trying to do.

Can you even edit the data in the landing page grid? I think it’s just a list of available data

[Kevin_Barrow]

I want to add a drop down to the landing page that allows our buyers to select from different sources, it would then update GeneratePOTool etc to the right vendor ID based on the selection from the drop down it should allow the buyer team to easily mass generate POs for various vendors.

It’s a landing page, it’s not meant to be updated.

I think you will be better off making a dashboard instead of trying to hack an update and combo in there.

There are fields that can be modified, and it seems like that is based on the following filter:

Are you saying that PO suggestions are not meant to be selected or updated from the landing page, or are you saying we are not meant to customize the landing page?

[jwphillips (Jonathan Phillips)]

Wow… a functional landing page?

So you could copy that data rule and add your column to the exceptions … and then disable the original data rule

[klincecum (Kevin Lincecum)]

Neither, and kind of both on one lol.

Landing pages can be customized, though it is a royal pain, I don’t thing they meant us to, but we do.

Landing pages are meant to be record selectors, not editors.

How do I disable the filter? it is locked, and I do not seem to have that option.

Wait, looking at the pic, I’m confused. They want you to do actions from a landing page?
Why did they use one? Are we sure it is one?

Yes, you can perform a few ‘actions’ from the landing page as well update several columns already, I just want to expand its current functionality.

I’d be happy with any means of changing the source, perhaps by converting vendor IDs to links or something similar.

It seems like there should be a way to do it, but I am struggling with making it happen.

[Edit]

Failing any other option, it seems like it could be possible with Manipulating the Kinetic Web UI from the backend for Fun and Profit - Code Review / Sharing - Epicor User Help Forum (epiusers.help); however, I have yet to be able to use this effectively.

Apparently, you might not have to disable the original rule

Is it possible to override a native Kinetic row rule?

I found a solution for this particular case. I created copy of Rule, then in “Except these columns” I added my UD column which was previously disabled and voila - it works, column is Enabled.

I tried that; it didn’t seem to work in my case, but it could be because all my custom columns are coming up as [object object] for some reason; they are also displaying that way in the data view.
