Thanks. I'm still working on my manifest file, but now I have created one that saves a record and the filter seems to work as intended. I'm still a bit vague on the exact use of the entity identifier. I've got mine setup, it works, but I'd like to understand it better:
Take a look at my manifest file, here I've got the entity identifier. I've placed it inside the 'record name' field. I assume this means this field (recordname) becomes the entity identifier (this also is what the 'fieldname' in the table vtiger_entityname says). Am I correct to assume you always need to set the 'id' (in my case 'exactonlineid') field as its value, so it will correspond with the crmentity value? So the entity identifier will work as the link between the module ID and the global system ID's?
Furthermore, I set up the default mandatory fields, but is it also mandatory to set up the 'LBL_DESCRIPTION_INFORMATION' block in which the 'description' field lives? Or could that also live in the default block? I create a field called 'exactonlinereturn' in which I want to write the return from exact during saving, but if description is mandatory, I might as well use description for this.
I have setup record name and record no to auto gen on save, but nothing happens on save. I'm not sure but somehow the record numbering is not taking place. And how should I configure the record name to auto populate? Or is it better to do this in the vtws_create funtion?
