display textArea

Support
#1

Hi
I have created a Customer edit screen where there are different fields in fieldGroup and they are displayed in 3 different columns and 3 rows. Notes is one of the fields that I want to be TextArea. As this screen has been created by the wizard, i want to customize it. I need the followings:

  1. Use the field TextArea instead of TextField
  2. want to use 2 rows 2 columns at the right-lower side of the screen inside the fieldGroup.

Thanks for any help.

> 1) Use the field TextArea instead of TextField
See https://doc.cuba-platform.com/manual-6.0/gui_FieldGroup.html, the table at the bottom of page.

> 2) want to use 2 rows 2 columns at the right-lower side of the screen inside the fieldGroup.
See https://doc.cuba-platform.com/manual-6.0/gui_FieldGroup.html, column element.

I tried to override in xml file inside a fieldGroup created by the studio but looks the command is not recognized. is it only possible when i am creating the field group and fields manually?

Thanks, It expands to multiple columns. How can I expand over multiple rows?

  1. You can edit screen’s XML and add required field attributes.

  2. You already have multiple rows in a field group. If you need to separate groups of fields, you can create several FieldGroup components for one datasource, with different sets of fields. Then you can place them wherever you want on the screen.

That’s an excellent idea. I have done it and it works well for me. Thank you so much.
