Is there a trick to make title properties support Multipass resource formatting?
I have a property Requested By that is a Multipass user ID. The Multipass resource formatting works fine for the property, but in the object’s title it does not (ex. title column in Object Explorer and in various Workshop widgets.)
Is there something special I need to do or is it just not supported?
I’ve encountered similar issues, and it seems like it is currently not supported.
My workaround was a simple function, which resolved the user’s name and stored that in a separate property set as the title.
My preferred solution design here is to create a first class representation of a User or Employee in the Ontology.
You can set up a Data Connection and hit the List Users endpoint to start this process. I often see folks incorporate other external systems with additional relevant user information.
With this setup, Multipass ID can be a property on the User object, in which case it’s straightforward to either create property links between whatever object has a “created by” property and the actual User object, or in your Workshop application you can pull out the multipass ID into a string variable and use that to create a filtered Object Set variable that contains only the matching user.
With this object, it’s then easy to display the full name or username or email address or whatever else you’d like to show.
If I’m in a situation where that setup isn’t possible or is overkill, I sometimes just use the Property List widget, set it to single column and the “label on top” Layout, then add the multipass property and click in and delete the label text. This gives you the display of just the rendered multipass id with the hover interaction and you can put it in a Header, for instance.
Or, you can make a quick Typescript Function, pass in the multipass ID as a string, and look up the User, from which you can return their username, first name last name, email, or other custom properties. You can then use these in your Header or other display areas and even create a link for folks to click to open the user profile, since it follows a format of: /workspace/settings/users/[multipass_id
