Adding DOM section to existing DOM instances

Solved545 views28th August 2024DOM

Hi,

As I am creating my DOM model, I often need to add additional sections (with new fields) to the DOM Definition. I have a lot of DOM instances already which I created manually. It appears the new section is not added on existing instances.

Is there a way, preferably without scripting (using the dom editor), where I can make sure the new section will be available in DOM forms on the existing DOM instances?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

To achieve this, the DOM editor script would need to be extended. However, the real question is: “Why would you want to add empty sections to existing DOM instances?”

We plan to remove the requirement for empty sections in DOM instances before displaying an empty section in the form component. This change might resolve your issue, as it would eliminate the need to modify existing DOM instances to make the section appear in the form component.

Hi Seba,

the use case I currently had was that I needed an extra section to store an image link on an asset. From that moment on I want to fill in the value on all existing instances.

Indeed it would make sense that the form just shows all available sections in the definition and not just based on what is already available on the instance itself .

thanks,
David
