Can we hide system default fields from workItem form? - azure-devops

Can we be able to hide the system defaults fields on the workitem form?

For TFS 2017, On-premises XML process model: You can modify select elements within the SystemControls section, such as changing the EmptyText attribute value for the System.Title field. In general, we recommend you don't customize this section much more than that. For example, you can't remove fields from or add other fields within this section.
For TFS 2018, On-premises XML and Azure DevOps Services, Hosted XML process models: You can specify the ShowEmptyReadOnlyFields attribute, or select to hide or replace select fields defined within the SystemControls section.
For example, to hide the Reason field, you modify the Control element with the Visible attribute.
<Control Label="Reason" Type="FieldControl" FieldName="System.Reason" Visible="false" />
To replace the Reason field with another field, use the Replaces attribute. Also, remove the entry for the Reason field from within the section.
<Control Label="Milestone" Type="FieldControl" FieldName="Fabrikam.Milestone" Replaces="System.Reason" />
See more info in the docs.

If the process you are using is a custom process inherited from the template process, normally you can't hidden the default fields.
If your process is defined using a XML process model, as #ShaykiAbramczyk suggested, you can try to edit the XML file for the process definition to hidden the fields.

How to have multiple sections with images in a FluidTYPO3 flux form with TYPO3 10?

I have been using FluidTYPO3 (flux and vhs) to run TYPO3 web pages for many years now. With TYPO3 10, I face a major problem. I'll quickly write about my use case, how I solved it so far, and then what the problem with 10 LTS is.
Use case:
I want to have a content element template for a timeline using FluidTYPO3/flux. Each "point" on the timeline should have a heading, some text, and optionally some images. All in all, pretty basic (or so I thought).
Solution so far (TYPO3 <= 9):
Timeline elements are sections. Images are using flux:field.file.
Simplified example of the form:
<flux:form id="timeline" label="timeline">
<flux:form.section name="timeline" label="Timeline">
<flux:form.object name="element" label="Element">
<flux:field.input name="title" label="Heading" />
<flux:field.text name="label" label="Text" enableRichText="TRUE" />
<flux:field.file name="images" label="Pictures" allowed="jpg,png,svg" multiple="TRUE" maxItems="50" size="5" showThumbnails="TRUE"
/>
</flux:form.object>
</flux:form.section>
</flux:form>
With this, multiple elements can be created on the timeline and each of them can have its own set of images.
Problem in TYPO3 10:
The technology (TCA group fields to select files) that flux:field.file relies on was deprecated in TYPO3 9 and removed in TYPO3 10, see this notice. That is one of the reasons why flux:field.file was also marked deprecated and is going to be removed in TYPO3 10.
The TYPO3 deprecation notice says to use FAL relations instead. Of course, flux can also do this with flux:field.inline.fal. However, you can only have one FAL field per FlexForm. This precludes its usage in sections, since all sections would share the same images. This limitation is known for some time - see this bug report for example - but has never been fixed. It is also why I initially chose not to use FAL fields. Using bare file fields was the recommended workaround at the time.
Question:
So - how is everyone doing it? How to add multiple image fields to a flexform in TYPO3 10?
EDIT: More specifically, how to add an image field as part of a Flexform section that can contain multiple child records (resulting in multiple image fields)?
Note: I know that I can get a "file-like" field back by using an input field with inputLink renderType (like this), but as far as I can tell it does not allow to link multiple images.
I've found another workaround that might be appropriate for some use cases:
It is still possible to use flux:field.file fields if the useFalRelation parameter set to true, even on TYPO3 v10 LTS and in repeatable FlexForm sections. This will then put sys_file record IDs separated by comma into the field instead of raw filenames. They can be used as src argument for, e.g., f:image just as well as the filename, so the CE templates itself do not have to be modified. All existing CEs that had useFalRelation set to false need to be migrated though so that the filenames are replaced with sys_file UIDs.
This is a bit better than the inputLink workaround since it allows multiple images.
It seems the only workaround with TYPO3 core onboard methods is to go for a Flux-Container having a single column containing simple default "Text with image" or "text with media" elements and then to just ignore additional options of those elements and to just render the necessary fields.
With Gridelements this is called a "functional container", since the container determines the behaviour and appearance of those elements, while the elements themselves don't have to be custom elements at all.
Additionally this makes access to the content of those elements - i.e. while doing a search query - much easier.
The bug report you mentioned already contains the solutions, since the actual problem described there is that FAL fields in a flexform are using the same name.
So instead of
image
according to the bug report there should be
settings.foreground.image
which is of course not working, since the dot is part of the path but not of the name.
But actually replacing the dot with an underscore and using some suffixes within the same flexform tab should do the trick:
settings.foreground.settings_foreground_image
settings.foreground.settings_foreground_image2
This way you make sure that
The field names within your flexform are unique
The actual field name within the sys_file_reference entry already contains the full path information
You can use that information to fetch images i.e. within a DataProcessor and still know the FlexForm field they actually belong to
Sitll I would recommend to fully move away form FlexForms (and thus Flux too) in favor of "real" fields in the database table.
If you currently use the flux:field.file element at typo3 10 with the useFalRelation=1 you can replace it by the flux:field element. It is not deprecated and works in combination with the flux:form.object element
Following example:
<flux:field.file
allowed="jpg,png,svg,gif"
exclude="false"
label="MyLabel"
name="myname"
showThumbnails="1"
useFalRelation="1"
maxItems="1"
minItems="1"
/>
Can be replaced with:
<flux:field type="input" name="myname" label="MyLabel"
config="{
type: 'group',
size: 1,
internal_type: 'db',
use_fal_relation: 1,
allowed: 'sys_file',
maxitems: 1,
minitems: 0,
show_thumbs: 1,
appearance: {
elementBrowserAllowed: 'jpg,png,svg,gif',
elementBrowserType: 'file'
}
}
"/>

Project Level DrawnBy Parameter in Altium

I have a Schematic template that refers to the DrawnBy parameter and others to fill in the title block. This works fine if I edit each sheet's document parameters to display the correct information. However, I want to use the project parameters to fill in the relevant information.
The schematic documents have default parameters such as, DrawnBy, Revision, etc, that override the project parameters so each sheet needs to be manually edited for author, dates, and revisions.
How do you override the default document parameters with project parameters?
This would be a better fit for the electronics.stackexchange.com site.
On the schematic document or template (sheet), each field is represented by using the custom text =ParameterName. Once you have the document open in the context of a project, you can add project-level parameters via the menu Project > Project Options, Parameters tab. Add the parameter using the same name that was used on the document. All documents sharing the parameter name will inherit the value entered here.
Don't add any parameter to this list that should be unique to each sheet.

How to customize email template in crm 2016 by code

I am using CRM 2016, and trying to customize email template by adding a dynamic data. I know that CRM allows to use only specific vanilla entities, but when I explorer an old code I found an option to use {0}, {1} etc' for injecting data from non vanilla entities (by code) - unfortunately that code cannot be tested...
Have someone heard or know about that way? is it possible? what to google for?
You can do this by manually typing similar marker what CRM is using. Note that this is not documented in SDK.
Dynamic Values For Custom Entities In Email Templates
In the template, where you want the value to appear, type within 2 brackets an exclamation point followed by the entity logical name. After the entity name, add a colon, and then the field logical name, ending it with a semi colon. If you’d like a default value if nothing was found, after the semi colon add the default value.
{!<entitylogicalname>: <fieldlogicalname>; <Default Text>}
More in part 2:
The Global Template Type is what you’d want to use for custom
entities, or any other entity not listed in the template type drop
down menu. And just to reiterate, regardless of the way you insert
values, whether you use the out of the box insert method or you
manually type it in, you can only insert values from one record.
Dynamic Values For Email Templates - Part 2
Dynamics' email templates are flawed. You either can't use custom entities or you have no translation. I use this workflow instead. It can do everything : https://github.com/rtebar/dynamics-custom-emails

ej-autocomplete passing text not value

I am trying to write a control that takes a list of names, allows the user to select from this list and then posts back the username for the name that has been selected.
Firstly, I used a Syncfusion ejDropDownList control to accomplish this, where the code I used was:
<ej-drop-down-list id="UserList" datasource="(IEnumerable<User>)ViewBag.Users" ej-for="Username">
<e-drop-down-list-fields text="Name" value="Username" />
</ej-drop-down-list>
This works fine and when I submit the form, the Username field is bound correctly in the associated model.
Since there are too many names in the list to realistically use a drop-down list, an autocomplete control is preferable.
However, when I implemented the control in the following manner:
<ej-autocomplete id="UserList" datasource="(IEnumerable<User>)ViewBag.Users" ej-for="Username" filter-type="Contains">
<e-autocomplete-fields text="Name" value="Username" />
</ej-autocomplete>
Then the 'Username' value in the model is bound to the 'Name' field.
Is anyone familiar with Syncfusion controls who can tell me how I can bind the selected value (as opposed to the selected text) to the 'Username' column successfully?
Thanks,
Sean
Syncfusion Autocomplete not have a field type of value. You can also use Key field for your scenario.<ej-autocomplete id="UserList" datasource="(IEnumerable<User>)ViewBag.Users" ej-for="Username" filter-type="Contains">
<e-autocomplete-fields text="Name" key="Username" />
</ej-autocomplete>

How to hide the value of a tag in Enterprise Architect documentation

I made a custom template on Enterprise Architect that is a slight modification of the requirements template that came with the program. I edited the template to make it that the value of a specific tag will also be included in the documentation.
"Requirement Type: {Element.valueOf(****)}"**
However, not every element in my document has a value for that specific tag. Is there a way I can have that line show up only when the tag has a value? Or have the documentation say
""Requirement Type: none"
if there is no value?
I am using EA version 8.0.860 from Sparx Systems
If you are using version 10, there is a new feature called Fragment Template. You could move the specific part of the document that you would like to show/hide into a Fragment Template by performing the following steps:
Create a new Fragment Template
Configure the fragment, e.g.
package>
diagram>
element>
Requirement Type: {Element.valueOf(****)}
<element
<diagram
<package
On the Document Options, go to Element Filter tab
Click Add Filter
On the drop-down Search On, choose TagValue
Check the Property, set Condition to "Equal To", and set the value as the Tag name
Check the Value, set Condition to "Equal To", and do not set the value
Check the Required, then press OK button to close Add Filters window. This means that if the Tagged Value has no value, it will not be shown.
Press OK button to close Document Options window
You may create more than one fragment according to your needs.
Import the fragment template into your main template.
But since you are using version 8, IMO the options that you have are:
Adding "Requirement Type:" text into every Tagged Value that has value
OR, adding "none" into every Tagged Value that has no value.
You could create an EA Script to automate number 1 and number 2, because those are repetitive tasks.
