Okay, so this is a pretty advanced level question (I think) and only people who have really worked in depth with SugarCRM might be able to answer this. What I am trying to achieve is this. I want to load and render all (or selected) fields of any module (Dynamic), for e.g. "Tasks" Module, into the record view of another custom module e.g. "Custom_Templates" Module. I want to be able to edit the values in those fields as well. What I am looking to do is append those fields below the current fields that I have in my "Custom_ Templates" Module. So, here is what I have done so far. I have created a new custom Layout. ( modules/ Custom_ Templates /clients/base/layouts/related-module-fields-layout ) I have created a new custom View. ( modules/ Custom_ Templates/ clients/base/views/related-module-fields-view) I have added the new custom layout and view into the record layout of my "Custom_ Templates" Module. $module_name = 'Custom_Templates' ; $viewdefs [ $module_name ] [ 'base' ] [ 'layout' ] [ 'record' ] = array ( 'components' = > array ( array ( 'layout' = > array ( 'type' = > 'default' , 'name' = > 'sidebar' , 'components' = > array ( array ( 'layout' = > array ( 'type' = > 'base' , 'name' = > 'main-pane' , 'css_class' = > 'main-pane span8' , 'components' = > array ( array ( 'view' = > 'record' , 'primary' = > true , ) , array ( 'layout' = > 'related-module-fields-layout' , ) , array ( 'layout' = > 'extra-info' , ) , In my related-module-fields-view.hbs file, I have added < h1 id = ' new-id ' > I AM HERE! </ h1 > And I can see this heading appended in the record view at the bottom. But this is as far as I have gone. I am stuck here. I can't figure out how I can populate fields of any module from it's metadata and render those fields in this view. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Show Fields of Any Module in a Custom View

Okay, so this is a pretty advanced level question (I think) and only people who have really worked in depth with SugarCRM might be able to answer this.

What I am trying to achieve is this.

I want to load and render all (or selected) fields of any module (Dynamic), for e.g. "Tasks" Module, into the record view of another custom module e.g. "Custom_Templates" Module. I want to be able to edit the values in those fields as well. What I am looking to do is append those fields below the current fields that I have in my "Custom_Templates" Module.

So, here is what I have done so far.

I have created a new custom Layout. (modules/Custom_Templates/clients/base/layouts/related-module-fields-layout)
I have created a new custom View. (modules/Custom_Templates/clients/base/views/related-module-fields-view)
I have added the new custom layout and view into the record layout of my "Custom_Templates" Module.

$module_name = 'Custom_Templates';
$viewdefs[$module_name]['base']['layout']['record'] = array(
    'components' => array(
        array(
            'layout' => array(
                'type' => 'default',
                'name' => 'sidebar',
                'components' => array(
                    array(
                        'layout' => array(
                            'type' => 'base',
                            'name' => 'main-pane',
                            'css_class' => 'main-pane span8',
                            'components' => array(
                                array(
                                    'view' => 'record',
                                    'primary' => true,
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'layout' => 'related-module-fields-layout',
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'layout' => 'extra-info',
                                ),

In my related-module-fields-view.hbs file, I have added

<h1 id='new-id'>I AM HERE!</h1>

And I can see this heading appended in the record view at the bottom. But this is as far as I have gone. I am stuck here. I can't figure out how I can populate fields of any module from it's metadata and render those fields in this view. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
