How to make data multiselect as summury visible for its relator?

Raju_Dachepally

Hello Everyone,

We have a data multiselect widget inside a relator and we want to make data multiselect widget values as the summary visible for its relator group. Is there any way to achieve this using a listener or CCE widget functionality or something else? Please suggest.

Thanks,
Raju Dachepally.

What you ask doesn’t make any sense. A data multi select widget belongs to the relator family: it is used to implement a n-m relation with a data table.  It doesn’t exist an attribute storing the “values” and therefore it doesn’t exist an attribute which can be made summary and visible.

So, if you want to have a sort of “summary” one option would be to build it artificially using a read only attribute (which you can make summary and visible and show on the relator grid) where you copy the values linked by the data multi select. But all this is pretty hard to design and code.

The other option would be to use the unstructured content widget: you remove the data multi select relation from your content type and you add an attribute of type string big enough to host a very long string. On this attribute you define an “Unstructured Content” widget and you use as its content type form a content type wrapping your data multi select (i.e. just a GUID on the primary table and a data multi select on the first level relation). You can make this attribute summary and visible and you can write a “RelationTranslator” class turning the xml stored in the field into a readable, well formatted HTML string to be shown on the relator grid. But if forme solution was hard this is even harder….

So, at the end, I would simply leave things as they are. And the answer is just “no, you can’t make a data multi select summary and visible”….
