I want to be able to edit the standard Category Hierarchy on the form Released Product details (menu item = RetailReleasedProductsByCategory)

I added the following code:

[ExtensionOf(formStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended))]
final class Form_EcoResProductDetailsExtended_Extension
{
    public void init()
    {
        next init();
        this.test();
    }

    private void test()
    {
        FormReferenceGroupControl test = this.CategoryHierarchyReferenceGroup;
        test.value(5637145326);
        test.modified();
    }
}

5637145326 is the recId of one of my records of the table EcoResCategoryHierarchy.

This should be valid, as I can validate via a breakpoint that the value of the control (before I modify it) corresponds with the recId of another record in the table.

Despite this, during the modified call (which I call so the tree would get refreshed based on my chosen EcoResCategoryHierarchy), when the method getCategoryHierarchy is called, categoryHierarchyReferenceGroup.value() returns 0....

This can be seen with a breakpoint in the find method of the EcoResCategoryHierarchy table.

Does anyone know why this is the case and how I can fix it so I can set a default value of the category hierarchy tree?

Hi Superbunny,

There is a setting in the application where you can specify the default retail hierarchy that will be used when opening the form. Would this be an option instead of a customization?

Have you tried calling element.initializeCategoryTree() instead of the modified() method?

Thank you for your reply @André.

Calling initializeCategoryTree instead of modified did the trick, so I will mark the question as the answer.

I am however, still interested in where the default retail hierarchy setting could be set, as my functional colleague had not found this option within the system

Hi Superbunny,

From the Category hierarchies form you can click on Associate hierarchy type. On that form, you can set one hierarchy with the type Commerce product hierarchy. See screenshot below. That is used as the default retail hierarchy.
