Problem with pre-populate department in IT Shop

m.p.
over 7 years ago

Hi,

I'd like to pre-populate department in IT Shop (Add New Employee) with the department name of logged user. I have created copy of object (edit employee, preedit, etc). I have extended the collection and added new column in preedit object. After compiling web project  I have following behavior in IT Shop:

Do I need to set some special properties?

When I run query in Web Designer I got correct UID_Department.

    Hi Mariusz

    It seems like the users are missing a can see permission on the UID_Department attribute. This is why it's getting displayed as hidden.

    Hi Carsten,
    But when I click Change button I can browse Departments, and name of selected Department is visible in IT Shop. The user has the same permission like for "IsExternal" which I can pre-populate with true or false.
    I have tried to assign View permission to the UID_Department column in the Designer (for CCCViewRole) - the same. The role VI_4_ALLMANAGER has also View permission for this column.

    Hi Mariusz

    Do you get correct results while debugging the case in Web Designer? What authentication module are you using in the web portal and the web designer?

    My mistake,

    my query was wrong - I have used getuser() (!), now I have tried toi use:

    "select UID_Department from Person where UID_Person = 'getuser()'"

    but I got:

    The property Person.UID_Department could not be set.

    Employees: Maximum length of Primary department is 38.

    I'm using following object:

    The string "Select UID_Department..." has more than 38 characters, and I assume that this is no valid UID for a department.
    Try
    from User select UID_Department
