Automatically assign an item to an item set based on the Resource template?

Hi,

If I understand correctly, assigning an item to an item set is needed if I want it to appear in a drop-down when choosing an item from a list of items. I want to save my users the need to remember to go to another tab in the items’ form and choose values from there.

When manually creating a new item, when choosing a resource template, I would like the item to be automatically assigned to an item set.

For example, when I create an item based on the People resource template, I would like the item to be automatically assigned to the People item set, etc.

Is there a Module that can “connect” resource templates and item sets and do what I need?

Thanks,

Hanan Cohen

I’m not sure I understand the first question, but the answer to the second is Yes–there is a module that adds the functionality of automatically adding an item to an item set based on the Resource Template.

I have a bunch of modules installed, so I’m not sure exactly which one added this, so I looked for “item_set_query_items” on github (you can see it here.)

There is actually a module called Dynamic Item Sets, but it is also mentioned in BulkImport and I think Advanced Resource Templates. All three are by Daniel Berthereau.

Hello @Daniel_KM , can you please comment on this? Huge thanks!

Yes this feature was separated from module Advanced Resource Template and is now in the module Dynamic Item sets.

But this is not exactly the same than a static item sets. The module Advanced Resource Template has no feature for that, but it should be simple to add, so in next version.
