Hi,

I am using the message queue to set messages on some fields.
Now I need to use it also in a Web List, in particular I want to set these messages on a column cell depending on the input (using it to provide explanations if the input check fails).

The problem is that I am not able to call the #sys_msgq.Add method on the column cell eg. #ColumnXY.CurrentItem Thanks

At present, message handling doesn't support assignment to a list cell. It will likely be made available when we fully address contextual messages and allow OAM generated messages to be assigned to fields.

In the meantime, try using a reusable part for the columns that need to show errors. You could publish the edit/field as a property. This would give you access to the control so that the error could be assigned directly to it.

So, in the reusable part you'd have something like
Then, when generating the message

Thank you,

It works, but I hope that this feature will be implemented soon because this workaround implies an explicit management for each of my field type.

Have a nice day

Hi Andrea

Your last reply has confused me a little. You'd only need to do this for those fields that you want to edit in a list cell, and I would hope that would be very few. There are of course exceptions to the rule, but in general, editing data in a "grid" is not particularly user friendly.

Can you tell me a little more about the style of application that you're building please.

Regards

Hi,

Now I am trying to avoid as much as possible editing directly on the list.
In this way I can use one or more views containing my fields in which use the message queue.

Thank you for your help

Regards

Andrea
