Hey all,

At the deployers workshop recently we discussed adding the ability to send
fields from related records to the UI with search results data - for
example, if a cataloging object has a related place term with lat/long
fields, then when a user searches for the cataloging object, the lat/long
fields are returned with the search results. I don't think this is
currently supported? It's very similar to the mini="relates" property used
in the app config, but instead of sending the related data to the record
editor, I'm looking to send the related data to the search results page.
What all is involved in accomplishing this?

Thanks!
Amy

For the ad hoc case, we need to build this support into the services, and
then expose this.

For the case of your mapping example, you would just add the fields to the
list results for that record, that tenant. I just checked in an example in
the lifesci tenant-bindings delta.

Sorry - missed your point on the related records aspect.

Chris Martin's response is more appropriate. It makes sense to do it in the
app layer, but her questions are good ones in terms of behavior, etc.

Another common use-case might be returning the path to a thumbnail for media
related to records in search results.
