#1515 - concat doens't work. Shows concat values as string instead of field values

Closed Bug? created by sedat 6 years ago

Iam using the SuiteCRM-Version 7.10.9

the concat function isn't working if i try to do the same concat as the example in your documentation. ~concat(salutation, ,first_name, ,last_name)~:

calc_field-fail-2.PNG

all fields are filled with values

this results in plain text output in the calculated field: calc_field-fail-1.PNG

also if i select a field from Dropdown "Fields" this will not be inserted in the formula input above.

whats wrong? before i will pay for the plugin it should work..

    Hi Sedat, Now if want to insert any string or Space put it in single codes for concatenation e.g concat(salutation,' ',first_name,' ',last_name)

    Thanks

    in Version 7.10.9 the concat still doesn't work, even the choosen field from "Fields" dropdown doesn't insert the choosen fieldname. Same behaviour as reported above.

    i have an additional concern: Could you please make the "Functions" form scrollable. Its really annoying to handle and search the desired function:

    Sorry for the late response. I upgraded to 7.10.10 and downlaoded the calc fields package again. now the function field is scrollable --> big thanks for that. But the values of fields doesn't appear after saving the record. its platin text output again:

    Ok I found the reson:

    I have set some fields to readonly in

    custom/modules/{MODULENAME}/metadata/editviewdefs.php
    
    1 => 
              array (
                'name' => 'last_name',
                'type' => 'readonly',  
              ),
    

    So the Calculated Field cant handle type => readonly at this moment. When I remove the readonly type it works and the field values are shown. Can you please handle the readonly type to display it in the calculated fields?
