Additional buttons for lookups (dropdowns)

Available since April 2020.

Default lookup

By default and depending on settings and permissions AppGini renders two buttons next to lookup fields. With these you can open up the parent record or open up a form for creating a new record in the master-table.

Lookup with additional buttons

If you would like to beautify the look, change icons or add text to the default buttons, read about those features here and here.

Now you can add additional buttons to your lookups which execute your own javascript function on click,

Syntax

var field = new AppGiniField("fieldname");
var dropdown = field.dropdown();

    console.log(value);
