It should look like multiple person/phone text field pairs in UI.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>My idea is to use </SPAN><STRONG>Form Filters</STRONG><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If we're talking about edit form, then it seems it is possible to implement this.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>In </SPAN><STRONG>beforeGenerate</STRONG><SPAN> method we can fetch associations from NodeRef, dynamically create fields, populate them and add to form.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>In </SPAN><STRONG>beforePersist</STRONG><SPAN> we can parse these fields (identifying them by some name prefix or postfix) and update associations.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But how can I add(/delete) an empty fields pair? I can provide some </SPAN><STRONG>Add</STRONG><SPAN> (and </SPAN><STRONG>Delete</STRONG><SPAN>) button in Freemaker template for my custom control, add JavaScript.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>But I have not found any documentation or examples how can I do it using JavaScript.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It seems we have </SPAN><STRONG>FormUI.options.fields</STRONG><SPAN> property, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also I doubt if we can change form model after generation from client side.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any information or examples how we can update form using client side JavaScript are highly appreciated.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Alternatively what are best practices if we need to manage multiple simple associations? It seems it is rather typical case.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance for any thoughts.</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:51:14 GMT stan 2016-06-06T01:51:14Z Add field to form dynamically https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-field-to-form-dynamically/m-p/299608#M252738 I need to store multiple contact persons related to some object.
