It can handle has\_one, has\_many or many\_many relationships. At the moment it has been tested / works on DropdownField, ListboxField and CheckboxSetField. It works both in the CMS and in the frontend. For frontend, [Select2Field or MultiSelect2Field](https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-select2) are recommended. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) SilverStripe 4/5 Usage ----- [](#usage) Firstly, when creating the form field, we need to create a closure that returns the source array to populate the field's options. We do this because later on, when the field is refreshed with the newly created Object ID as it's value, we need to use this function Again to get up to date data for the source. ``` $source = function(){ return MyObject::get()->map()->toArray(); }; ``` Then we can create the form field, calling the closure as the source argument ``` $field = DropdownField::create('MyObjectID', 'My Object', $source()); ``` Next, we can tell the field to use and configure quickaddnew. The first parameter is the class name of the object that will be created. The second is the $source closure Note: See QuickAddNewExtension::useAddNew() for the list of configurations parameters available. These allow you to customise the fields and required fields (for validation) for the dialog. By default the object class's getAddNewFields() or getCMSFields() methods are used ``` $field->useAddNew('MyObject', $source); ``` Add the field to your FieldList ``` $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $field); ``` ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 75% of packages Maintenance35 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 65.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
