Video code: https://suitecrm.com/suitecrm-developer-insights-record-thread-widgets/

Video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XOoVTpznyc&t=31s

According to this video, I implemented adding weight at the bottom of the record. But the one associated with the parent class is

'parentFilters' => [
'id' => 'parent_id',
],

But what I want to associate is not the id primary key, but other custom values ​​(custom_id, which may not exist, that is, it may be empty/null). If custom_id=empty/null, all data will be displayed (obviously wrong).

  1. I use workflow to solve this problem. When I add a new record, the value of custom_id will be automatically filled. This can be solved, but it is a bit troublesome because there are too many modules involved.

  2. I want to add a judgment in this video code. If custom_id=empty/null, return null and do not display bottom weight (but I don’t know how to write it at present)

  3. Are there any other solutions?

This method should also be able to solve it?

Yeah, try to use those conditional statement in your code and test it out.
