The other features and notes of Common Field JSP (common_fields.jsp)
are as follows:
- When a particular field is displayed using the common_fields.jsp,
the appearance of the field depends on the number of records that
the field needs to display. If there is only one record to display
in the field, then the field appears as a protected input that cannot
be modified by the user. If there are 2 to 20 records to display in
the field, then the field appears as a combo box. If there are more
than 21 records to display, the field appears as a protected text
box with a lookup icon next to it. In this case, the only way to change
the value of the field is through the lookup. The reason for this
behavior is so that the "screen refreshing" feature can work even
when there are too many records to show in a combo box.
- If a user logged into the console is a node user, the node field
appears as a protected input that cannot be modified. Otherwise, the
node field displays all of the current logged-in organization's
owned nodes.
