Nicolas Malin commented on OFBIZ-4949: -------------------------------------- thanks for the review Hans ! Your commit leads to create two issues : * complete the documentation on wiki * complete the unit test I will dot it ;) > Add new actions tag for loading data > ------------------------------------ > > Key: OFBIZ-4949 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4949 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: framework > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Reporter: Olivier Heintz > Assignee: Hans Bakker > Priority: Minor > Attachments: OFBIZ-4949-NMA.patch, OFBIZ-4949-NMA.patch, > OFBIZ-4949.patch, OFBIZ-4949.patch, OFBIZ-4949.patch > > > This enhancement is useful when a entity is load by reader (ex: seed) and > sometime, it could be modify in data file. If a field is change from a value > to null, currently this modification will not be done in the next load. > When you are first importing new data, quite naturally all fields other than > those specified in the file will be null. If, however, you're updating > existing data, you might want any field not specified in the file to retain > its current value, or you might want the contents of the file to specify > everything about a record, in other words "take this data and null out the > rest". The alternative to set-other-fields-to-null (or whatever else we > might call it) would be a huge number of attribute="" in the file. > For portletWidget, entity PortalPortal have a lot of field with potential > default value, so sometime, first release use some field and when it's > reviewed and corrected, some field are changed to null to use the default > value (to follow best practice). > This enhancement will be very useful for portletData file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
