Field "Related item" : display related fields in form ?

Hello,

I have a question about "Related item" Field.
Is it possible to display one or more fields (the fields of the related item) aside of each item of the list in the form ?

I have many items that have the same title (but differents fields values). In order to select them more easily in the related item field list (I don't want to differenciate them in the title) I come here to make a suggestion to enhance this field :
If we can view the related fields of the related item in the select list of the form, it will be very handy.

Is it possible to enhance Flexicontent in this way ?

Thank for your answer.

Regards.

Hello

you can do already !
you missed it

we have a parameter for custom display in item form

Instead of 'item title' + item link you can customize the display of every related to have

- custom HTML
- and show any field of the related item

the parameter has same format as the parameter used for frontend viewing

Hello ggppdk, and thank for your answer.

Sorry but I don't find it, I use FC 3.2.1.5 for now.

Where can I find this please ? In the related field parameters ?
I don't find it in the differents tabs.
I can display fields in item view (parameters are in the Viewing tab > Related item list > Inner HTML), but where are the parameters for displaying fields in the form ?

Thank you.

Hello

The fully custom display in item form
exists only for the items list display of "Reverse relation" field

Hello,

I tried this, but it don't work for now.

I have a database (content type : bdd) of books with many fields (authors, illustrators...)

I create a content type named "collection".
I create a relation field in this type, linked to the items of "bdd" type.
In "collection" form, in the list of related item, I saw correctly all the books, but only the title, not authors, illustrators...)

My request is about that : how can I display the fields of "bdd" type aside the title of the list of "bdd" items ?

With relation reverse field, as you mentionned above ?

I try to create a relation reverse field affected to collection type.
In parameters, I link this field to bdd relation field.

But nothing appear in the collection form. Just the label of the field. No list, nothing.
What's wrong with my steps ?

Thank you for your answer.

Hello

The parameters that i suggested exist only for reverse related items field

In the case of related items field (relation field)
- the item selector only lists item titles

it is possible to implement appending (TEXT only) fields after the title
(at a very small performance delay)
e.g.
- the value of text field
- the "text label" of a value of a select field

but such usage would be rare,
and this is not implemented now

is this important for your project ?

Yes, it's important for my project (database of books and collection form for my members).

Imagine you have a list of many books, but some of them are identicals, in the title.
For now, I have to add a suffix or a prefix to my title in order to recognize each of them in the list of related item field.
But it's not convenient, and the titles aren't corrects as they have a suffix or prefix and I don't want that.

With this enhancement, if we can view one or more additional fields related to the item (like image, authors, ISBN, ...) it will be very handy for the users.

It is just an example. Maybe there is many others applications to do with these enhancement.

Hello

you can sponsor addition of custom fields to the items selector
- at least for text and select/radio/checkbox fields !

for image , address, etc will not do now

i say sponsor, aka others, will get this from free

Nice
I just want to display some text fields. Image should be nice too, but nevermind if we can't.

I don't understand all your message, too : what do you mean by "sponsor" ?

it will be a paid service that i mean
