The “Add a record” does not work from Table View and Detail View

[sseppi]

As explained by Chiara for some datasets, the Add a record button doesn't work from the Table View, the Raw View and the Detail View.

More details are available in the slide 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the presentation at the following link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rHV6uue1r8hk_tQD2Q0KFRPI6w8alPld9n6mUnnPSdE/edit?usp=sharing

@sseppi I cannot access the slides, could you please send them to me?

[sseppi]

@gappc now you should have access to the shared document.

@sseppi yes, now it works :+1:

@sseppi there was a bug that was fixed in 51b3cc60, the "Add a record" button was shown even if no NewView existed.

Below you find the new checks. The "Add a record" button will only be displayed if all of them are met:

• the user has the permission to create new records for the current dataset
• there is a dedicated NewView config to add a new record for the current dataset
• the view config is embedded and not generated

Since we have never discussed how adding a new record should behave (what is there at the moment is just some proof of concept on my behalf), maybe this issue can be used as a start to get that feature implemented fully.

In essence the idea is to have a trimmed-down version of the EditView of a dataset with only the fields necessary to add a new entry. Note that it is also possible and feasible to just reuse the EditView to add a new dataset, but for some EditViews the required fields are distributed among different categories, which makes adding a new record clumsy.

[sseppi]

During the sprint meeting we decided to reuse the Edit View to create a new record.

In case of need we will the decide how to improve the "Add new record" functionality on top of the feedback provided by the users.

Top!

I reviewd the list with Rudi that agrees.

Thank you @d3liaa

@gappc I think we are ready to move the issue in the review lane?

[gappc]

@sseppi @d3liaa I think the config changes have still to be done, is that correct?

[d3liaa]

I did them I only have to push it. I’ll do it ASAP
