We have created a 1 to 1 relationship for 2 custom modules. Now when we create a related record based on the parent record we want to hide or do some customization on the create drawer. We have already achieved this but we have to copy the entire create.js file to custom/client/base/view/create/create.js. My question is can this be done on a modular level without the need to copy the entire file?
After some further investigation, customizing extending create.js at a modular level is possible as you seem to have found. To help others encountering this same issue, module specific custom views can extend from the base one, if no module specific view for that module exists out of the box.
If the following example was created in custom/modules/<module name>/clients/base/views/create/create.js , it would do as expected and extend from the base create view.
({ extendsFrom: 'CreateView', /** * Some extra functionality */ doSomethingCool: function() { }, _dispose: function() { //additional stuff before calling the core create _dispose goes here this._super('_dispose'); } })

Another question is there a way to augment or extend the context or the data manager models?
My customization involves 3 modules, first M1 and M2 have a 1 to 1 relationship and M3 has a many to one relationship with M2. Now i want to pull all the subpanels (not just the data) of M2 and display it on M1. Is this possible to implement on sugarcrm 7.1.5 Pro now?
Chris, This doesn't seem to work for me! Could you please post a working example exending the create view for a module? I've been looking all over the place for this and there seem to be a lot of miss assumptions about it. Is it really possible?? Thanks!!
I have the same problem, do you have solution now? it seems to me that the create.js is not working but create-action.js is working. someone said it is an issue for 7.1.6 (community.sugarcrm.com/.../18823) but I am working on 7.2.0, is the issue still not fixed?
it seems to me that extending create-action view is working but extending create view is not working in 7.2. so my only choice is to extend the create view rather than create-action view.
Any more info on this? I'm trying to extend the create http://1drv.ms/1K3GpCF , did it in create-actions.js and create-actions.php extending the CreateView in create-actions.js but the form dropdown doesn't get displayed . It's a blank panel.
