PrefillSearchForm on AttributeExternalKey

[Nico]

Hi,
I have an AttributeExternalKey in Incidents and UserRequest and want to prefill its searchform.
I have added this method:

<method id="PrefillSearchForm" _delta="define">
          <static>false</static>
          <access>public</access>
          <type>Overload-DBObject</type>
          <arguments>
            <argument id="1">
              <type>reference</type>
              <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </argument>
          </arguments>
          <code>
            <![CDATA[
              public function PrefillSearchForm(&$aContextParam)
              {
                if($aContextParam['dest_class'] == 'FunctionalCI' && $aContextParam['origin'] == 'console')
                {
                  $aContextParam['filter']->ResetCondition();
                  $aContextParam['filter']->AddCondition('finalclass', 'ApplicationSolution', 'IN');
                }
              }
              ]]>
          </code>
        </method>

I can see that prefill works when I try adding a CI via the Tab(Functional CIs) but it's not working on the AttributeExternalKey which also points to the class "FunctionalCI".
What am I missing?
Thanks,
best regards, Nico

An AttributeExternalKey cannot be prefilled with PrefillSearchForm, but there is a simpler mean, just use the XML tag "filter" on the AttributeExternalKey to define an OQL filter

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I already tested it and I think this will be my solution.
The only bad thing in this solution is that you have to select an other class via the drop-down field, if another selection should be made, because the filter tag disabled the field in the filter tab bar.
Anyway, I will try this :-)

Hola.
I am trying to replicate this and it has no effect. I don't know if I have defined the method in a wrong place.
Thank you.
Ana

Can you be more specific on what you want to achieve?
Check again the wiki, in general the Searched Class and the class containing the method are different...

Hi Vincent.
First, thank you very much for the help.
You see, what I'm trying to do is behave similar to what occurs when we assign a user to an organization and from then on, only he sees the data associated with that organization. But instead of filtering by organization, I want to filter by certain states.

Hu Ana,
In your code the value "No visible" for 'status' is probably not a valid enum code, it expects the code-value not its label
