Change label, show * for mandatory

[pfrumkin]

I have need to dynamically change label for a text field. The Label method (https://appgini.bizzworxx.de/products/j ... ew/labels/) works well. However, this happens to be a required field, so the html has <span class="text-danger"><%%TRANSLATION(*)%%></span> for the label to present the * mandatory indicator. How can I get that * displayed after using the Label method?

I have updated the tablename_templateDV.html file to add an id for the label, then I manually append the html to the label in the tablename-dv.js file. I don't like this because I have to set this to Read Only so I don't overwrite it every time I regen. I don't like having to do that because eventually I will need to change that template and my changes won't take (because I will forget that it's Read Only).

Any ideas?

TIA

Code: Select all

var fieldname = "type_id"; // change this
new AppGiniField(fieldname).label("my new label");
$j("label[for=" + fieldname + "]").append("<span class=\"text-danger\">*</span>");

PS: In next version it will be just enough to call the .label("caption") function which will automatically keep the red required-*. It will also automatically care for keeping the blue info-bubble if there is a field description.
