Reuse the CRM subject picker in a model driven app for another entity

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 34

The CRM subject entity has a dropdown Hierarchical picker for finding the correct record in a hierarchical dataset. Is it possible to reuse this picker for other entities? I cant seem to find a way to add it as a component to my service directory.

    There is no OTB control but you can check this custom PCF control here

    this looks pretty cool, but would it work for a "Many to One" relationship?

    it doesnt seem to work for my model. I can find a control thats named CC_generic_Tree, but i dont understand what i would put into the treeData property.

    Have you downloaded and imported the solution?

    This was actually way harder than i imagined. i though dropping in this kind of control would be a drag and drop operation. The idea to have a hierarchical dropdown menu like the one we see in my original screenshot doesnt seem to be a possibility. so ill leave it at that.

    You have to import the solution for the PCF control to appear in your controls.... it is different than the entities you are creating...

    This is the solution you need to download and import so you can use this new control type
