Request: add constrained by possibility about autocompleteformendix

[lindski]

It is possible to set constrained by using [%CurrentObject] however there is a limitation in that the association needs to be set and committed on the context object.

I've added a test called 'Constrained By' in the test project that shows using [%CurrentObject] but I will need to have a think to see how we can achieve the same behaviour with associations set in memory (which is what is really needed)

[lindski]

Ok, I think I have managed to do this by adding two additional parameters in the Search tab:

1. Constrained by [Context] - Select an association from the data view context if you want the results to be constrained by a particular object. Must be used alongside 'Constrained by [Source]'
2. Constrained by [Source] - Select an association from the AutoComplete's source entity if you want the results to be constrained by a particular object. Must be used alongside 'Constrained by [Context]'

I need the first one in order to retrieve the ID of the object to filter the results by. I need the second one so I can apply the correct xpath with the retrieved ID.

An updated widget is available in the dist folder. Let me know if this solves it for you

[lindski]

sorry, dist folder is only on my local machine! You'll need to take the widget from the widgets folder in the test project

I'm testing it right now, but at first sight it seems to do exactly that what I was looking for, so KUDOS and much appreciation for working on this! I'll do some test (On change, etc.) and come back to you to finalize this.

[lindski]

Great, let me know how your testing goes... if all goes well I'll publish a new release on to the app store

Does exactly what I need! Only thing I'll take care of with an On Change microflow is emptying certain associations as soon as something up the tree requires it (for example: Category was Food with subcategory Drinks and category is changed to Cars. Subcategory remains selected at Drinks, while the possible options is now different. But like I said, nothing that can't be handled through On Change microflow logic)
