Data Utility for attribute as a column in a Table View

  • January 9, 2024

Hi All

 

I want to configure a Custom Data Utility to populate the value for an attribute that will be displayed as a column in a Table View.

I tried the getDataValue() and getPlainDataValue() methods of DefaultDataUtility and AttributesTableDataUtility but they are not getting triggered when the Table View with the Attribute column is rendered. It works only when the attribute is placed in a Layout.

Any suggestion on how to achieve the requirement?

    Hello,

     

    So the workspace table is not designed with MVC. Simplest way to know the tables designed with MVC is to append &jcaDebug=true at the end of the URL. You will see a lot of lady bugs. 

     

    Since workspace table is not designed with mvc , data utility will not  work on that table. 

     

    Thanks and Regards

    And I do not want to set Default Value, the value will be calculated using a DataUtility.

      Hi @MV_10441462 

      How do you assign the datautility to the attribute? 

       

      Usually If I want data utility is used everywhere I set the configuration in service.properties

      selector is always the internal ID of the IBA attribute

      xconf example>

       

      <Service context="default" name="com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.DataUtility"
targetFile="codebase/service.properties">
 <Option cardinality="duplicate" order="1" overridable="true"
requestor="java.lang.Object"
selector="ORG_NAME"
serviceClass="cz.ext.OrgDataUtility.NameDataUtility"/>

       

      PS: workspace table is not easy to customize but it is possible.

      Hi @HelesicPetr 

       

      I tried both components.dataUtilities.properties and service.properties. Still not getting triggered when the Object List Table is rendered.

      Hi @MV_10441462 

      As I see, you want to use the Datautility in the workspace.

      You can't.
