Sorting Custom attributes

[Willem Zwarthoed]

Hi,

right now, when I create custom attributes I can group them, but not sort them in the web interface. Changes made to custom attributes sometimes cause random sorting changes. Is there a way to sort them properly?

 

Thanks,

Willem

Hi Willem,

In System Settings > Advanced > Custom attributes you can enable "Manual sort". If you do that you can drag & drop them around to order them, that should be respected by the web UI.

Thank you Mattias,

that works nicely. Is there also a way to sort Attribute groups in the web interface?

Unfortunately the groups cannot be sorted manually. For local installations there are options to manually layout the sidebar info tabs using JSON files. But that is an advanced technique that is not suitable for all use-cases

Allright, we'll have to make do then.

Thanks!

Hi,

We are using the JSON file to edit the layout, but I changed the file (add a new attribute to projects), stop and start ftrack and the layout did not change. Is there another way to force the reload?

Thanks!

Restarting supervisord should definitely be enough for it to pick up the layout. Do you get any errors if you look at the error log, /tmp/ftrack.log ? You can also post the layout here if you want me to scan over it
