How to add new fields to redbox form (e.g. to management.vm)

[se...@intersect.org.au]

Hi Andrew,

How are you going?

I am working on customise the forms of redbox workflow, e.g. management.vm (screenshot shown below).

If I need to add new fields (redbox:retentionPeriod.dc:date) to this form, could I do it by

1) adding the following content to management.vm?

 <p>
        <input type="text" size="60" placeholder="retention period date" id="redbox:retentionPeriod.dc:date" />
        #requiredValidation("redbox:retentionPeriod" "Retention Period is required!")
    </p>

2) add the id to the form-fields list in dataset.vm.

And could you tell me how does it work? I know the value of id should match the field name, but I do not where is the code to assign the field value to the input widget.

Hi Sean,

It doesn't look like you should need to do much else. That's all I've had to do in the past to add a field:

https://github.com/redbox-mint/redbox/commit/595e3aa0b35d25e658f223f5666b73741db35690

You might have to debug your way through this method in the widgets.js to find out why it isn't being sent through to the server.
