Hi All, I'm looking to add an extra column to the right-side box for related procedures. Has anyone done something like this before for their implementation? Thanks, - Jesse

Hi Jesse, We haven't done exactly that, but I have a pretty good idea how to do it. In Sidebar.js, there's a subcomponent called procedures, of type cspace.relatedRecordsList. That's the one you want to change. There's also a subcomponent called vocabularies, which is also a cspace.relatedRecordsList. Notice that vocabularies overrides the default columns of its rrlListView component. You can change the columns for procedures the same way. Make sure to also configure the field you want to show to appear in list results.

Here's a quick example of adding a csid column to the related records sidebar: https://github.com/ray-lee/ui/compare/pahma_3.3...addcoltest This was just a test. When you do it for real, you may not want to do it in defaults, and you might do it in a json config file instead of Sidebar.js, and you'd have to add a message for the column header.

Hi Ray, Thanks a bunch, this worked for me. How would you go about adding such a change to SideBar,js, or any core js file, as a config file and not as a tenant copy of a core file? In other words, how does a config file get hooked into the UI layer?

Hi Jesse, I'm still fuzzy on where in the code this happens, but options specified in config files override options specified in defaults. My take on it is that if you want to have this new Related Records column appear wherever the cspace.sidebar component is used, then you want it to be the default behavior, and changing it in Sidebar.js is the right thing to do. The config files let you override this default behavior for particular record types, so if you only want the new column to appear on the record editor for one or two record types, then the right place to make the change is in the config files for those record types. And then there's Demands.js, which lets you do even more fine tuning of options, but I'm fuzzy on whether the config files or Demands.js have higher precedence. If you do want to make the change in config, you have to figure out where in the component hierarchy the sidebar component lives, so you can nest it at the right level of the json tree. This is basically impossible without digging through code, so let me know if you need help with that. From a quick scan, it doesn't look like cspace.sidebar is a subcomponent of anything, so maybe it would go at the same level as PageBuilder and PageBuilderIO, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping the documentation Anastasia is working on will make this easier. Whether you make the change in js or config, there's the orthogonal question of whether to do it in defaults or your tenant folder. My take on that is that if you want that change to apply to all of your tenants, then make it in defaults, but if you only want it to apply to this one tenant, make it in a tenant copy of the file. Hope that helps!
