I am trying to add the default value extension in my space but im struggling to get it to work.
The thing is the extension gets added but configuring it is where im stuck.
It comes with the example enum type with some colors.
I would like to change that add some values to the instance params but im stuck there.
Im not sure what api i should call to update an existing extension of what exactly the payload should look like.
This is the doc Im looking into
I would be great if I could get an example payload to update the instance params of the extension.

Some background just in case there is a better way to do this other than the way I am trying:
I am requesting data of a rest API. When the data is received I want to check if a model containing this data already exists. The rest API does not give an ID for data entry so I cannot use this to see if a model instance already exists.
I have created an equal magic method for the model that checks several of the fields to see if they are equal and returning the appropriate boolean. This works fine when checking for example if instance == other_instance.
The issue arises when I try to filter or get to check the DB.
breach = Breach.objects.get(self=breach1)
I could check by specifying the fields each time but this would lead to some duplicated code over time and make the code base maintainable.
I am still newish to using Django so apologies if Django has a simple way of doing this.
I’ve created new Segmented Keys in ACUMATICA for use in a specific module. I would like to assign the Dimension name dynamically but I noticed it works only with hard code or name like [PXDimension(“VENDOR”)]
Also, I have some limitation to create an IF Conditional inside the customized field… it does not recognize the IF clause (see the image).
I would appreciate any suggestion how to solve this issue.
I haven't seen how your original attempt at PXDimension looked, but I'm going to take a guess and assume you tried to reference a new custom field contained in a setup table, something like:
[PXDimension(typeof(XXMySetup.usrMyCustomField))]
If that's indeed what you tried to do, one very important thing to do is to ensure that you have a view for your table in your graph, otherwise the attribute will not find the table and record in your cache. For instance:
public PXSetup<XXMySetup> XXMySetup;
Without this view declared in the graph, the dimension attribute will not work as expected. It would be nice if a clear exception was thrown in this case - I made the same mistake recently and it would have been helpful.
I am trying to search a way to add new categories in the present categories for my article using the select2 but as we know it only returns those which are already saved in the database.I want to do something so that those categories which are not there could get created automatically during the Runtime As figure shows no result found is displayed rather a new category should be created. Can anyone suggest a way to do it?
Is it possible to pass data into UI extensions assignments (meaning UI Extension X assigned to Field Y), in order to alter their functionality slightly for different situations, without having to reimplement the entire extension?
For example, CodeMirror is a really neat embedded editor, but it has a bunch of "modes," depending on what language you're working with. If we could even pass in a string to represent the desired mode when the extension is assigned to a field, that would remove the need to do a different extension just to use different syntax highlighting.
With this, there could now be a generic "CodeMirror Editor" UI extension which is then just configured a runtime.
On the other end of the extreme, we could specify entire JSON objects when the extension is assigned to a field, to further specify configuration options.
This would make UI extensions so much more...useful. Does this functionality exist now, or is there some way to reasonably make it work? Is there some place on the field specification where I can "park" a JSON string, then access it from inside the extension?
Contentful has launched something called "Configuration parameters" for UI extensions that could be used to solve this issue.
They have two types of parameters, installation and instance parameters. Installation parameters are set when installing the UI extension, and instance parameters are set when configuring a field on a content type to use the extension. The latter would be perfect for your use case.
To use this feature you need to:
Create a parameter definition for the UI extension in the extension.json file. E.g. a new instance parameter called "codeMirrorSettings" of type Symbol with name "CodeMirror Settings".
Within the extension, fetch the current parameters using extensionsApi.parameters.instance.codeMirrorSettings.
Documentation for configuration parameters can be found in Contentful's docs:
https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/content-management-api/#/reference/ui-extensions/configuration-parameters
https://github.com/contentful/ui-extensions-sdk/blob/master/docs/ui-extensions-sdk-frontend.md#extensionparameters
What you could do is just read this setting from another field, be that a string or a json object.
For example the slug generator automatically generates its value from the title field.
You could perhaps do something like this:
const cfExt = window.contentfulExtension || window.contentfulWidget
cfExt.init(api => {
var langField = api.entry.fields.mirrorLang || 'default'
//Rest of implementation
})
Well, I wrote something for this, specific to my situation, but generalizable to others. This is an example if a UI extension that retrieves settings from another entry in the space, and uses it to dynamically configure itself.

I'm trying to create a content part in Orchard that will perform a request to a web server and display the results of the request. The problem I'm running into is that my part requires no user input and thus I have left the part and part record classes empty. I have a Migrations.cs file that adds a description to the part and makes it attachable as well as creates a content item with the part attached to it. When I go to create a new instance of my content type it tries writing to the database and fails. How do you create a content part in orchard that doesn't try to save to the database? Thank you.
The actual error I receive is:
null id in Orchard.ContentManagement.Records.ContentTypeRecord
I'm pretty sure you don't need to create new table since there are many parts which don't have any in Orchard. Try to remove MyCustomPartRecord.cs and change MyCustomPart.cs
public class MyCustomPart : ContentPart<MyCustomPartRecord>
to
public class MyCustomPart : ContentPart
Then just add driver and view and you should be good without extra tables ... In theory :D
The answer to my problem is even when your part ins't actually saving anything in the database you still need to include a table for the part so it can store the id. I just added the following to my Migrations.cs file and it fixed the problem.
SchemaBuilder.CreateTable("MyCustomPartRecord",
table => table
.ContentPartRecord()
);
