EditActionHasUniqueTask.md

EditActionHasUniqueTask

• The purpose is to make any task for an action with the preset key equal to edit to be unique :
  • If offline, an edit could be in pending task after validating the action form
  • If launch a new edit, instead of creating a new task, the one in pending task will be opened
    • so data already filled will be displayed
    • and when validating, just register the new data into selected/found task
    • no new task in pending task list
    • waiting on network connection to send the data to server (inside on mobile app action)

Setting to activate the feature

The feature is not for all, so a conf in

MobileProject

Inside Mobile Projects/<project name>/project.4dmobileapp add this to activate the feature

"extra": {
	"editActionHasUniqueTask": true
}

• ⚠️ project must be close before editing file, and reopened after
• 💡 generated apps must have following configuration set after generating it

Android

Inside app/src/main/assets/appInfo.json add this to activate the feature for an already generated app

	"action.edit.hasUniqueTask": true

iOS

Inside Settings/Settings.plist add this to activate the feature for an already generated app

	<key>action.edit.hasUniqueTask</key>
	<true/>

Bonus

for all type of action

We could have some definition by action, not only the "edit" one. For that a new boolean hasUniqueTask could be added to the action json definition

for android

Inside app/src/main/assets/actions.json by action you could add hasUniqueTask to true

for iOS

in storyboards definition inside userDefinedRuntimeAttribute, find your action and edit in the one line json, the hasUniqueTask to true

If we want to go further

allow to set action task unique in mobile project editor (IMPORTANT: will not do it)

adding for all in mobile project editor a way to edit project to set true or false by action ie. a checkbox
