[Django] Smart Action Form prefill might not be working T-T

Help me!

Feature(s) impacted

Hello Team! It is me again,

I tried the specifications on the following doc for prefilling a form on Django:

But I cannot make it work, so here are a couple of observations:

  • There is a typo on the docs since the method doesn’t have the self parameter.
  • I tried a simple operation where I try to print a message, but it is never executed.
  • I checked on the schema and the hook load is enabled.

Here are my observations:

from django_forest.utils.collection import Collection

from inventory.models import Inventory


def load_product_variants(fields, request, *args, **kwargs):
    print("Executed")
    variant = next((x for x in fields if x['field'] == 'variant'), None)

    variant['value'] = "4520"

    return fields


class InventoryForest(Collection):

    def load_product_variants_self(self, fields, request, *args, **kwargs):
        print('Executed!! Finally')
        variants = next((x for x in fields if x['field'] == 'variant'), None)

        variant['value'] = "4520"
        return fields

    def load(self):
        self.actions = [
            {
                'name': 'Assign variant',
                'fields': [
                    {
                        'field': 'variant',
                        'isRequired': True,
                        'type': 'String',
                    },
                    {
                        'field': 'quantity',
                        'isRequired': True,
                        'type': 'Number'
                    },
                ],
                'hooks': {
                    'load': self.load_product_variants_self,
                },
            }
        ]


Collection.register(InventoryForest, Inventory)

Observed behavior

I tried manipulating the self parameter on the load method without luck, adding it, removing it, and making the method static. However, when I check on the Admin UI, opening the Form never preloads any value. I also tried checking the network in case there is some request to be expected but never got any print or default value to show up.

Good news, I solved it myself, still a small detail on the documentation, the action itself must have a type, in my case is a single type. That solves the problem.
