Dynamic Attribute Gird

# Dynamic Attribute Gird

# Description

The Dynamic Attribute Grid PCF allows users to view and manage attribute values in an editable grid, where each attribute can represent a flexible, user-defined property. These attributes are stored as records in the talxis_attributevalue table and can be edited directly within the grid.

The grid displays records of talxis_attributevalue entity. User can edit values in talxis_serialized_value column where Dynamic Attribute PCF is binded.

Since different Attribute Definitions can require different data types, the control includes hidden columns for each supported data type. These hidden columns are used to correctly store user's input based on the data type associated with the selected Attribute Definition.

# Features

  • Presentation of Dynamic Attribute Values
  • Adding new Dynamic Attribute Values (using default or custom form/dialog)
  • Deleting Dynamic Attribute Values (single or in bulk)
  • Editing Dynamic Attribute Values from Grid
  • Data validation

# Limitations

  • Editing rows
    • Due to limitation of Grid bindings, you can only edit "Value" (talxis_serializedvalue) column. All other columns are disabled for editing.

# Visual Example

Dynamic Attribute Grid

NOTE: Due to a bug in Power Apps maker, this PCF can only be bind through legacy form editor.

# Bindings

formId SingleLine.Text input Id for Attribute Value form that should be opened on creation of new Attribute Value record
dialogName SingleLine.Text input Dialog name that should be opened on creation of new Attribute Value record.
Height SingleLine.Text input Can be used to force the control to always stay at fixed height
RowHeight SingleLine.Text input Sets a custom height for rows
EnableEditing Enum ("Yes"/"No") input No Enable or disable editing functionality in the control

# Client Extensibility

You can extend the functionalities of the control by accessing it's API through a client script same as in Virtual Dataset.

# View Interceptors

To enable showing attribute values related to certain Account/Contact record, you can extend the view that is sent as a viewId parameter with an interceptor. The control will recognize the record id of the form it is on, and filter all results by the field specified in the interceptor.

Example of view with the interceptor

<fetch>
  <entity name="talxis_attributevalue">
    <attribute name="talxis_attributedefinitionid" />
    <attribute name="talxis_serialized_value" />
    <filter>
      <condition attribute="talxis_interceptor_placeholder" operator="ne" value="$DynamicGridInterceptor${&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;talxis_regardingobjectid&quot;}" />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>
