Change the default columns of storage tree result

[kitchenprinzessin]

Hi
Is there a way we can change the default table view of the storage tree search to include additional fields? Currently, it only displays the Catalog Number, Taxon and Storage
Note: we can add additional fields after searching via the mapper, but I want to set default fields in the table

Hi @kitchenprinzessin,

Just to clarify, do you mean the fields that are included when you use the (Search) function from the tree interface?

If so, that is not customizable currently. The logic is hard-coded within Specify to only return these specific fields in the automatically created query:

specify/specify7/blob/08dc1042e592b069a58682bbe5a59691ef14a879/specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/fromTree.ts#L89-L103

If you provide a list of the fields you want to add, then perhaps we can code up a custom version of this file for you to try out?

That will be great!
Here are the relevant fields:
collection object files - projectNumber, name
storage field - parent of the storage selected

Hi @mcruz and @kitchenprinzessin,

Unfortunately, we do not officially recommend modifying any Specify 7 files. You are welcome to propose a pull request to our GitHub repository or fork Specify 7, though either approach may result in slower updates or unpredictable behavior if extensive modifications are made.
