I almost have 100% functioning, Iāll post it as soon as I have it ,although itās sad that in the forum there are people with so many years of experience developing in the system and even then they can not give me a good answer :pinch:
Please do post your solution, we need more of that here!
I personally donāt have years of experience developing projects for SuiteCRM, I only started developing one simple project. Then I learned the rest just helping out in the forums. But I often am left without enough expertise to help in coding problems.
I know it can be frustrating to ask and not get answersā¦ we need to ask simple, partial questions, since developers normally donāt have enough time to really ādiveā into other peopleās problems and figure out what could be wrong.
With time, I hope we develop better community resources (Documentation, past forum threads, blog posts, etc), and get more competent developers on board, so it becomes easier to get help coding.
Thanks for your patience and thanks in advance for posting coding tips in the future.

Thanks a lot, this looks quite useful!
Did you manage to make these changes upgrade-safe? Are they all in the ācustomā folder or did you need to edit the files in their original places?
I edited line_items.php from original folder and line_items.js from custom folder because i see this condition on line_items.php
if ($view == āEditViewā) {
$html .= āā;
if (file_exists(ācustom/modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/line_items.jsā)) {
$html .= āā;
If line_items.js is not already on custom folder then is necesary to copy the file from original folder.
And does it still work if your changes are only in
custom/modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php
but not in
modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php ?
I hope that file can be customized in an upgrade-safe manner, tooā¦
the changes are in:
modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php
dont pass the file to custom folder because u cant make changes there i already tried.
Normally when you canāt get a customization to be picked up, it needs to be customized āone file beforeā, meaning, you need a custom version of the file that invokes that file.
So in this case you probably need custom versions of these vardefs:
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Quotes/vardefs.php:346: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Quotes/vardefs.php:555: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Contracts/vardefs.php:420: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Contracts/vardefs.php:627: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Invoices/vardefs.php:256: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
/var/www/html/modules/AOS_Invoices/vardefs.php:463: 'include' => 'modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php'
Although maybe this mechanism could be improved - if we can find where these vardef āincludesā are being evaluated, we could add a check for custom files thereā¦
By the way, since vardefs are actual PHP that gets executed, you could try editing each of those like this:
modules/AOS_Quotes/vardefs.php:346: 'include' => get_custom_file_if_exists('modules/AOS_Products_Quotes/Line_Items.php')
I never tried this sort of thing, I donāt know if it will work
Hi pgr thanks for the attention
I will review it more in detail as I am using it in different modules if something change in other modules i will post again B-)

Hello, Thanks for your help.
Can we speak by Skype or other way?
Thank you very much.
Sorry to dig up this topic, I think it is still relevant now.
Has someone the permissions to retrieve the attached screenshots ? I tried many times to add custom fields to line items groups but canāt succeed.
Thank you for the collaboration !
you can modify the vardefs where fields are pointing to the Line_Items.php file as mentioned by @pgr in comment
Below is what i did to show custom fields by changing line_items.js
