I have the entity A (id, age, B b) and B (id, name, description, amount, date etc).
In B I have @View(name="simple", members="id, name") and @Tab(name="simple", properties="id, name")
In A I can use @ReferenceView("simple") over B to use the simple view in detail mode .
But, when I click the magnifying glass icon to search for B, I'm presented with the main (unnamed) @Tab of B, if it exists, or all the columns for B if there is no @Tab defined.
Is there a way to reference an specific @Tab (like the "simple" above) for a reference? Similar to what we do with @ReferenceView? Something like @ReferenceTab("simple").
Don't know if it makes sense, but it would be useful not only to simplify the search Tab but to benefit from the filtering capabilities of @Tab like baseCondition, defaultOrder, filter.
I guess I can change the @SearchAction with some variation of this.

Thank you.
For now I just created a simplified version of the Entity mapping to the same table and defined a simplified @Tab with baseCondition for filtering.
Additionally, I had to use @AssertTrue with the same baseCondition of the @Tab to avoid the user to type a key and reference an instance that would not be selectable by clicking the magnifying glass.

Since OpenXava 7.4 we have a new annotation, @SearchListTab to indicate the @Tab to use in the search dialog for references and collections. OpenXava 7.4 will be releases next month, in Septembre 2024.

Hi Gustavo:
That is not supported yet. Look at:
https://openxava.org/xavaprojects/o/OpenXava/m/Issue?detail=a0c98a1c57a24fbcb867d0d7bf42df11
In the meantime you can define the tab by code using @SearchAction. Look at:

Help others in this forum as I help you.
Thank you.

Great. When it is out I'm going to change my code to see how it works.
