Hi folks,

We’re on 14.5.3 right now, and we have a use case to display an embedded object in a grid view on a glossary term.

Take my example here:

glossaryTechnicalInformation is an embedded object array under my term entity. Inside glossaryTechnicalInformation are 4 simple string scalar properties. But yes I forgot to give it “name” property, my mistake.

When I add some info in there, I get a guid. I know I can get it to display the “name” if I give it a property “name”, but then, I would only get the “name” to display in the page.

Is there some way to make it display like this? (excuse my poor skills in Paint!)

 

I think ​@Albert de Ruiter achieved something like this with computed content, is there some way we can avoid the computed content part now in v15/v16?

Hi ​@may_kwok ,

Indeed I used computed content to combine properties from a different entity, but then it shows nothing more than a concatenated string, not as a grid or table. A use case is for instance to display a translation together with its language code. Do you want more details of this approach?

Just to be sure, you are aware of the entity trait core:displayName? With this trait you can make you property Source act as name, by applying 

{

  “propertyName”: “Source”

}

Regarding your remark about computed content in V15/16, I think I will create an ‘Idea’ that with AI computed content code can be created, so in a similar fashion that AI now (in V16 I believe) supports the creation of DQ rules coding.

Kind regards,

Albert

I was hoping in v15/v16 there would be ability to display embedded array in a grid in the entity, and there wouldn’t be a need to do computed content at all.

In my use case concatenating 4 different fields would just be a bit too much I think...

Thanks ​@Albert de Ruiter ! I’ve made a feature request, feel free to upvote!
