<![CDATA[Dialog plus does not show multiple entrys via api]]>Hi Guys,

im trying to realize a ssh public key distribution system based on idoit. I do have some troubles concerning dialog plus fields though:

1. I created a custom dialog+ called "sshgroups" and filled it with values like DEV, TEST, QA and the likes
2. Created a custom category called "ssh" and put above "sshgroups" as a field inside
3. Used the Quick configuration wizard to put the custom category under Kontakte->Personen->ssh
4. Went into Kontakte->Personen and assigned some values in the sshgroups dialog plus to a random person e.g. "max mustermann" has values QA and DEV and TEST

Now when i call cmdb.objects.read with params filter => {type => 53} i am able to loop through all the persons and get the objid of "max mustermann".
So when i now call cmdb.category.read with params  objID => {id of max mustermann}, category => "C__CATG__CUSTOM_FIELD
S_SSH"

i get the following datastructure for the dialog+ field:


          'f_popup_c_1480604992331' => {
                                         'identifier' => 'SSH_Groups',
                                         'title_lang' => 'QA',
                                         'const' => undef,
                                         'title' => 'QA',
                                         'id' => '21'
                                       },

In this structure only the first entry of the persons ssh group (QA) is shown. However i selected multiple groups QA and DEV and TEST.
Is there something i am missing about dialog plus fields? i can read all other kinds of fields with the method shown above, but with dialog+ i never get all the selected values in my data structure.

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Im using JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client; with perl to query the api.

Thanks everybody for helping me out!

  • Its no possible in 1.10 to have two different Dialog+ Fields with the same value. This was possible in 1.9 versions though.

    • To reproduce create 2 custom dialog+ fields. For example use "SSH User Groups" und "SSH Server Groups".
    In "Dialog-Admin" -> "Custom Dialog+" try to enter the same value (e.g. QA) into both. This results in the following error:

    Error!
    General error: Following values could not be saved because it would lead to duplicate entries: QA

    1. Its possible to enter a numeric "0" into a dialog+ field via api but not via the administration ui.

However now we stumbled upon a multitude of new bugs concerning dialog+ fields:

    1. Undeletable Multivalue in GUI

    Description:
    Multiple Dialog+ selections will not be deleted in IDOIT gui.
    How to reproduce:

    • We have the following Objecttype hierarchy in Quick configuration Wizard "Infrastruktur->Server".
    • Added User Defined Category "Users"
    • Under Users we have a Dialog+ field called SSH Groups (where we have Values like "QA", "Staging" etc.)
    • Choose multiple SSH Groups->Save
    • Try to delete all those SSH Groups->Save
    • Values are not deleted

    2. Output Bug Dialog+ via API

    Description:
    When calling cmdb.category.read on a custom category with dialog+ fields, the output of the json object is utterly bugged.

    How to reproduce:

    • We have the following Objecttype hierarchy in Quick configuration Wizard "Infrastruktur->Server".
    • Added User Defined Category "Users"
    • Under Users we have a Dialog+ field called SSH Groups (where we have Values like "QA", "Staging" etc.)
    • Call cmdb.category.read on it.
    • Receive the following strange output:

    shortened response:

    {
                    "f_text_c_1455200871361": "agage",
                    "f_text_c_1455200573923": "test1",
                    "objID": "1378",
                    "f_text_c_1455200588403": "fsfs",
                    "id": "4257",
                    "f_text_c_1455200581454": "teshome",
                    "f_text_c_1455200835586": "ffa",
                    "f_popup_c_1480427993531": {
                                      "identifier": "SSH_Groups"
                    }
    },
    {
                    "f_text_c_1455200871361": null,
                    "f_text_c_1455200573923": null,
                    "objID": "1378",
                    "f_text_c_1455200588403": null,
                    "id": "4257",
                    "f_text_c_1455200581454": null,
                    "f_text_c_1455200835586": null,
                    "f_popup_c_1480427993531": {
                                      "identifier": "SSH_Groups",
                                      "const": null,
                                      "id": "12",
                                      "title": "EDI",
                                      "title_lang": "EDI"
                    }
    }

    • As you can see the output contains two "datasets" and one has only empty fields except correct dialog+ info. The other has all fields filled correctly but no dialog+ info. This surely is not how its supposed to be…

    3. When configuring Events to execute a Script. The "from" field in the changes section is wrong.

    • Configure Events to execute an external script when saving datasets.
    • in the script decode base64 and parse the json data
    • look at changes->from field its always undef.

    The API Shows the last element from the multiselect.  The following steps reproduce the Error:

    • Create Custom Category (Test)

    • Assign to an ObjectType (server)

    • Add Field Dialog+ (Multple Select)

    • Edit one Object From the Type and add multiple Values for TestField (TestData1, TestData2) ..

    • Call The Test-Category on the Object and The API delivers only the last Multivalue (TestData2).

    I could get all the Multiselect values with the following Patch on

    
/src/classes/modules/cmdb/dao/category/global/isys_cmdb_dao_category_g_custom_fields.class.php
855,856c855,863
<                 $l_catentries[$i]
<                 [$l_field_key] = $l_row['isys_catg_custom_fields_list__field_content'];

>                         $l_catentries[$i][$l_field_key] = array($l_catentries[$i][$l_field_key]);
>                     }
>                     $l_catentries[$i][$l_field_key][] = $l_row['isys_catg_custom_fields_list__field_content'];

    Welcome to the i-doit forums!

    I can confirm that you discovered a bug in the API add-on. While testing I found some more bugs for custom dialog+ fields and raised coresponding tickets in the developer's issue tracker. They will be resolved in one of the next releases. Thanks for the report!

    Greetings,
    Benjamin
