Adding items to numbered list using Create

Vaibhav

in Integrations and extensibility

I want to achieve this but getting a little bit of a problem:

  • End User can add an item in a number list by clicking a button.
  • He can choose Product Family from the drop down (Page Selector).
  • And after that whatever he wrote in Product Name gets imported to the list under the Product Family Selected.

I tried using Create Action but with that first a number gets inserted which later I had to edit to achieve the functionality. What I really want is that what user types it gets added on clicking of the button without any manual editing. 

 

Please Help!

    Hi @Vaibhav,

     

    I have a solution without using a Create button.

     

    1. So you have a Parent list(Product - Non-Numbered List) and

        Child List (Sub Product - Numbered List) and 1 property(Display Name - Text Format).

     

    2. Create a Module (Module A) with Parent list(Product - Non-Numbered List) as Dimension. and Line Item - Product Name(Text - Format) and Product Code(Text - Format)

    3. Create a Module (Module B) with Parent list (Product - Non-Numbered List) as Dimension. Line Item - Blank(no data - format)

    4. Create an action - Import into Child List from Module A

    5. Create an Action - Import into Module A from Module B (the reason for this Action is to, clear Existing inputs in the dashboard so that new inputs can be written after the action is executed)

    6. Create a Process(Import into List) - (Put Step4, Step5 actions in this order)

     

    7. Publish into Dashboard (Parent list(Product - Non-Numbered List) - Page Selector, 

                                                Module A,

                                                Process - Import into List

    8. After the Action is Executed

    Hope it helps

    Hi @Vaibhav 

     

    You have already used number list to create a new product using " Create". There is an option under create action to assign the parent as well. It would be better to use this option to create a new product under Product family.

    you can try below steps:

    1.  Create one system module with product dimension( which is your number list) and one line item " Product Name"

    Screenshot_117.png

    2. Create one property "Display name" in your Product list and set as display name

    Screenshot_118.png

    Make sure Display name format should be text

     

    3. Write a formula for Display name

    IF ISBLANK(SYS_Create New Product.Product Name) THEN "Please enter a Product name" ELSE SYS_Create New Product.Product Name.

    4. Use " Create" option to create a new product under Action tab.

    Screenshot_116.png

    Now when you create a new product through this action one pop-up will come to assign the parent

    Screenshot_119.png

    Select the parent and click on ok

    Now you can enter whatever the product name it will reflect as well in the list.

    Hope this help!

    Thanks

    Hi @Vaibhav,

     

    Don't Worry much about the errors.

    This error is because of we have mapped 1 parent only rest 4 parents are not mapped.

     

    I am trying for a new solution will let you soon.

     

    Thanks,
