Question by Holger Z. · Jul 03, 2014 at 11:44 PM · plugins

Specify if plugin property is hidden

Hi all,

ist there a way in plugin.xml to specify if the property should be hidden per default? Example:

 

<property key="typeofID" label="typeofID" type="list" description="Choose..." default="bool">
<list>
<item value="bool" />
<item value="number" />
</list>
</property>

I'd like to have the visibility of this setting in plugin properties set to hidden.

 

Thanks for any responses.

It make sense if you have a plugin with two operation modes, simple and advanced. So for simple mode only the neccessary properties of the plugin are shown when configuring a specific system profile. For advanced mode the administrator of the dT-Server would switch visibility from "hidden" to "edit".

At the moment all properties of a plugin are "edit"-visible and I wanted to know if there is a way to modify this behaviour. So I assume at the moment there is no way, right? It would save some clicks after deploying the plugin.

Hi Holger,

You are right, at the moment there is no way of switching between a simple and advanced mode or having properties only editable for certain users. Would access rights also be a solution for your use cases (e.g. a user needs a specific right to modify those advanced values)?

If you agree I will move this post to the RFE forum?

Best, Roman

If you have a hidden property - how would you make it visible in the client? Can you maybe give a couple of use cases for such a hidden property to get this into a RFE?

Best, Roman
