Smart Action field of type array reference collection

Help me!
1

I have defined a smart action like this:

        name: 'Promote',
        type: 'global',
        fields: [
            {
                field: 'Member(s)',
                description: 'Who gets promoted',
                type: ['Number'],
                isRequired: true,
                reference: 'member.id'
            }
        ]

Expected behavior

A form is displayed where I can look for (typeahead style) and add multiple records of the member table and then execute the action on them.

Actual behavior

The Smart Action’s UI is grayed out:

Context

  • If I remove reference: 'member.id', it works, but then I cannot look for members. I have to know their ids.

  • If I change the type to type: 'Number' (not an array), it works, but I can look for only one record at a time.

It’s the combination of the two that does not work.

Hello @MilenDyankov,

Indeed this is an issue. Nice catch!
Our team is on it and we are still investigating.

I will let you know when we have a solution :smiley:

Hi @MilenDyankov,

Unfortunately, hasMany relations are not supported yet in smart action form :cry:
However we will try our best for fixing the issue on our frontend and warn development mistakes.

This requested feature has been pushed to our product board.

Thank you @Guillaume_Cisco

Can I track the progress somewhere?
Is the product board publicly available? I’m asking as I may have some other suggestions about UI improvements, and I’m not sure where to post them.

Hello @MilenDyankov,

Unfortunately, our product board is private.
You can however open new tickets for telling us about new awesome features requests :rocket:
