Form based on selection

Hey everyone!

We are creating a Delivery entity and would love it to work in a very similar fashion to playlists to be much easier to work with.
Is there any way to create a custom form based on a selection so that it’s already pre-filled?
It should work on a similar fashion to the Add to New Playlist AMI where it populates the version directly on the form.

Thanks!

I’ve seen this done so it is possible. That said, you could also use the playlist entity/functionality as is and add a field or type option to denote some playlists as deliveries. Then you would also have the ability to duplicate existing playlists and change them to a delivery type. Food for thought.

On top of that you can use an AMI to help package delivery versions from a playlist. Populate the related content into the fptk delivery entity that is built in for tracking uploads along with any other data that goes in/out.

Hey Pete,

Thank you for your reply! The playlist approach was very thoughtful, and it’s actually something we considered (and even tried) before weighing on this route. However, we ultimately want to separate the two entities because, despite their similarities, we’d like to keep them clearly segregated and have permissions isolated as well.

Thanks again for your input—it’s much appreciated!

You can just use the Delivery entity and use a new view to design your own list?
The default view on the Delivery entity is a thread but if you create a new view you can do other stuff.

But this does not answer my question of how to fill a form based on a selection :sweat_smile:

Can you maybe try screenshots and some annotations to visualize your point?

Other than that, you can save a filled in form these days:

You can also make a custom AMI with a form based on selection.

Yeah, what I’m trying to achieve is the exact functionality of the Add versions to new playlist AMI, but using a different entity.
I was thinking at maybe cooking the prefill form URL by adding elements based on the selection, but I don’t know how stable that was going to be and maybe someone had a better suggestion about it :slight_smile:

So you want to link these versions, for example, to a Delivery?

Indeed, then fill some additional fields on the form, thus why I can’t just link them from the field as a batch edit :upside_down_face:

Yah probably an AMI with a html page and some javascript would get you somewhere.
