Hi,

All is in the title…I just want to extend an existing entity with a selected field..or is there a way to update the source code when creating this field with the GUI

Hi

You can do this via migration or just add Multi-Select field from this section ‘System -> Entities -> Entity Management’. Fifth parameter of addEnumField function is isMultiple.

I created my multiselect field via gui but this is not the right way to do it because I need it for one of my bundles. How to declare a multiselect field in an entity.php???

Hi

Your field have already declared in entity file. For example Opportunity entity contains ‘status’ field, but you can’t find it in vendor/oro/crm/src/OroCRM/Bundle/SalesBundle/Entity/Opportunity.php, because Opportunity.php extends from ExtendOpportunity and ExtendOpportunity replaces with app/cache/[cache dir]/oro_entities/Extend/Entity/EX_OroCRMSalesBundle_Opportunity.php where you can find status property. If you want to access to your field or override function try to extend original entity (if it exists) or access to it directly from your entity.
What is your final goal ? What do you want to do ?

I want to extend the entity calendar_event with two multi-select fields to be able to reuse them in a javascript. I have done it through the GUI but I can not access it when I write my code. I know how to extend entity but i don’t know how to declare multi-selected field

[Mike KudelyaParticipant]

You can access to field usual approach $calendarEvent->getYourMultiSelectName()

[fred33Participant]

Even if I do not see it in the source code ?

[Mike KudelyaParticipant]

Yes, new extended fields won’t appear directly in the CalendarEvent. Try to find your property and getters/setters in app/cache/[dev or prod]/oro_entities/Extend/Entity/EX_OroCalendarBundle_CalendarEvent.php
