Ability to hide fields on Connection panel

Document → https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/NF6.2_Role_Panel

Hi, committed peer review of this ticket with the following changes:

• Implemented the label Defaults to separate the security fields vs default fields (as discussed in forum)

• Enable the warehouse field - this field can be emptied by user, even if there is a default, so, hiding it creates a change in the previous behavior that maybe we need to discuss first

• Changed the "hide" by "make readonly" in all fields - as suggested by Heng Sin above

The idea above about AD_Role.IsCanLoginToAsterisk is not implemented, maybe it deserves its own ticket?

Carlos,

Attached is patch for hiding following fields based on available selection values.
Organization
Warehouse
and Date field based on System configuration.

For organization and warehouse, I like Hengsin below suggestion to avoid a system configurations.

Instead of the ShowOne* flag, I think we can make the form simpler to use by just making the field smarter - Editable if > 1 option

I suggest making * org selection available based on flag on Role, we can keep in different ticket. Though I believe that is not required as it is currently configurable in out of box iDempiere behavior by Role-Org access. I mean if for a role you want to make * as delectable, then in Role-org Access, add * organization and it will get available for selection.

Hi , that can be added to default branch, release is close anyways.

Agree that a new column is the best, something like AD_Role.IsCanLoginToAsterisk, or IsCanLoginToStar - don't know

The display logic sounds tricky as it depends on three different options - is maybe easier simply to leave the option displayed always, and defaulting to Y.

Hengsin,

"I think a role flag that say whether the role can login with '*' org should work"
This may be simple for user as has to mark on role and not need to go and update multiple org Access record.

Currently * org is available for user in below case
1. If role has IsAccessAllOrgs='Y'
2. If RoleOrgAccess or UserOrgAccess has entry for * org.

So I think making org fields visible when allowed selection options are >1 will work.

FYI.. We are 80% of task done. Send you patch soon. Please suggest should we consider patch for 5.1 branch or default?
