[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-3555) Show lookup value descriptions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3555?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12857422#action_12857422 ]

----------------------------------------

Hi Bilgin,

It seems that it works well for form lookups but not from FTL templates. It sounds weird since they use almost the same flow. Could I miss something or is it not yet implemented? To easily try you may use the OFBIZ-3442 patch and maybe the issue is actually in this patch...

Thanks

> I did a small extention to lookup autocompleter code and now it is able to load description for the lookup field values.
> For example when you load a form with lookup fields, currently you see only the Id in the lookup field (which is not very descriptive). After applying the patch, you will see also a description, next to lookup button. The description value is the same one that appears in the autocompler and it is specifiued for in each lookup screen.
> You will see the description also when a value is returned from a lookup screen or when a value is selected from autocompleter or when you type a valid Id in the lookup field.
> Internally it does an ajax call to get the description for the supplied value in lookup field.
> I'd like to know if you want to see this feature in ofbiz and/or if you have any ideas to improve it.
