How to create a column on the Terms overview page to display a referenced object array

Hi,

could you try to add this to your JSON?

		  "dataProtectionClassification": { //name of the section, can be whatever
              "name": "Security Classification", //name that will be displayed as the column name
              "dataPath": [ //source data for the field
			       "dataProtectionClassifications", // name of the property in the term entity
			        "name" //name of the property inside the dataProtectionClassification object that stores the display name
			  ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": [
                {
                  "pattern": "./dataProtectionClassifications/*" //again the name of the property in the term
                }
              ]
            },

I don’t know how exactly are your objects called, so this is an example. // is my comment, so please remove those.

Please let me know if this helps.

Kind regards,

Anna

Hi ​@anna.spakova,

Thanks for the response! I could not quite get this to work. For more background information here is our metadata model for our term entity with the desired object highlighted by the red box:

Clicking into that property shows this object:

So, here is what I tried in the Layout, but could not get to work:

            "dataProtectionClassification": {
              "name": "Classification",
              "dataPath": [
                "dataProtectionClassification",
                "name"
              ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": [
                {
                  "pattern": "./dataProtectionClassification/*"
                }
              ]
            },

I’m sure I formatted something wrong, or made an error somewhere. Can you spot it here? 

Thanks again!

Hi ​@tyler manawes ,

thanks for the details! So you actually need to use the classifications instead of dataProtectionClassification. Please try this:

            "dataProtectionClassification": {
              "name": "Classification",
              "dataPath": [
                "classifications",
                "name"
              ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": [
                {
                  "pattern": "./classifications/*"
                }
              ]
            },

You need to use the name of the property array inside term entity, which is called classifications.

Please let me know if this helped!

Hi Anna,

I was trying to add the classification details as well and used the same configuration you provided above but the details are still not visible. I have added classification for “Supplier” as seen below:

I have used both classifications & dataprotectionclassification but no success.

Hi ​@Vicky.Singh, thank you for trying, I forwarded the question to our engineering and I will let you know if they provide any advice. I tried several other options, and none seem to work.

Kind regards,

Anna
