EnumMultiReferenceEditor is giving error

[abhinavsingh11]

Hi,

We have a enum DemoEnum for which we want to filter out the values from enum based on condition for which we are using EnumMultiReferenceEditor as follows:

 <editorArea:attribute qualifier="demoStatus" label="customersupport_backoffice_tab_customer_enrollments_label_demoStatus" type="EnumMultiReference-LIST(DemoEnum)" editor="com.hybris.cockpitng.editor.enummultireferenceeditor"/>

However, when I run it , it gives error popup as Improper value type: java.lang.Enum(DemoEnum)'].

I even followed configurations given at:

https://help.hybris.com/1808/hcd/8bab6c4486691014a3899cab8989d996.html

But I cannot get what I am doing wrong. Please help.

Is the enum generated via items.xml?

[abhinavsingh11]

Yes. This Enum is a dynamic enum generated through items.xml

[mpern]

try removing the type attribute, the backoffice usually figures this out by itself

[abhinavsingh11]

I even tried without type attribute:

 <editorArea:attribute qualifier="demoStatus" label="customersupport_backoffice_tab_customer_enrollments_label_demoStatus" editor="com.hybris.cockpitng.editor.enummultireferenceeditor"/>

but still getting same error

What is the type of demoStatus?

[abhinavsingh11]

Type of demoStatus is DemoEnum

If the type of demoStatus is DemoEnum, then you cannot use EnumMultiReferenceEditor - as it's not multi reference 🙂 It's single value, and you should follow instructions from my answer below.

[abhinavsingh11]

To filter on the values of an enum we can add a editor-parameter "availableValuesProvider" and add a spring bean as it's value

Type of demoStatus is DemoEnum

How should this ever work? You can not store a collection into a single valued attribute

Change your typesystem ( items.xml) accordingly, preferably add a <relation> with the appropriate cardinality (most likely many-to-many) between DemoEnum and OtherTypeThatShouldHaveListOfDemoEnums

,

But how would I filter on a DemoEnum value. DemoEnum is added as a attribute to another item type.

I want to filter showing Enum values based on some condition. how should I achieve this usecase?

[mpern]

Hm, can you please elaborate a bit further?

• do you want to filter the values shown in the dropdown?

• do you want to search OtherTypeThatShouldHaveListOfDemoEnums by DemoEnum?

Unfortunately, I don't really understand your problem / use case

[abhinavsingh11]

Yes. I want to filter the values shown in the dropdown.

Try without the 'type' and 'editor' attributes, they are resolved automatically from the type system. Also please add the DemoEnum definition from your *-items.xml

[abhinavsingh11]

Without editor attribute I won't be able to use EnumMultiReferenceEditor. I tried by adding type and without Type.

I already have DemoEnum attribute in my items.xml
