Batch entry dimensions adjustment

[metas-mk]

Type of issue

Feature request

Current behavior

The fields for Combined Product +Packing and Quantity have the same width. Often the Product name, with important information is cut off from Packing material.

Expected behavior

We need more space for the combined Product Field especially more for the product (a) itself. The Packing element (b) can be reduced in width. Same the quantity field (c).
Please also add a small separator are between the elements.

Steps to reproduce

Open any window w/ batch entry possibility, for example, window/143/

[damianprzygodzki]

Which window types also support batch entry? I want to test other cases.

The problem is, if we want to do it without adding new widget type i have to make some dirty hack, and it may cause issues in future/other window types.

[teosarca]

atm the only windows with batch entries are sales/purchase order, customer/vendor empties.

So basically only Windows.

does this answers your question?

[damianprzygodzki]

Yes thank you. Im gonna deliver some achievements soon.

[damianprzygodzki]

That is what i can propose without much effort, but!

For smaller resolutions, second label is disappearing. It happens because type secondary of widgets behave to keep own grid consistent to other fields in window.
What we can do is provide a new type of widgets, that allows to display forms only inline with fluid labels (so all the place would be filled with content).

IT
created new product "test product with long name for testing purpose 1234567890" and added it in a purchase price list
new purchase order , add this product
both product and quantity fields are bigger OK

isn't too much space between the product and the packing?

[metas-mk]

@metas-lc agree. the reason for making the field bigger is mostly to have more space for the product name. @damianprzygodzki can u please take care?

[damianprzygodzki]

Im not sure that changing design here will be good for consistency. I was thinking about solution here, to move packing (or other additional fields) to the left. Do we want to change it in every place for lookup?

[cadavre]

So you want more space for long product name OR packaging name closer to product name. You cannot have both because it excludes each other. :)

@damianprzygodzki @cadavre
Let's start the discussion about this one again. I'm explaining from user point, not technically. Let's find out together which solution we can get w/ which effort.

[metas-mk]

moving it to current milestone

[cadavre]

As a default behaviour:
Always split widget widths equally, i.e. for two fields – 50% + 50%.

Optional:
Additional information from API about how to layout widgets – in what proportion. I.e. percentage or via flex like "1-3-4".

[damianprzygodzki]

Shouldn't we close it? Nothing to fix here and possible discussion should be moved to lookup revamp issue #600

[teosarca]

i think we shall implement on of cadavre's suggestions. I just need to get to it.

[damianprzygodzki]

Still it is a case of new version of lookup, possible duplicate.

[teosarca]

Ok, then i am closing it and the work shall be done on #600.
(for this task, check the "Layouting" chapter)
