I am looking for help to modify the admin panel. In a component, I want to display customised names in a dropdown of a related type.
In my example, Person has two fields: Firstname and Lastname. However, in the dropdown, I can only choose between Firstname, Lastname or id.
What I would like to display in the dropdown is: Fullname
eg.
Firstname: Erika
Lastname: Muster Fullname: Erika Muster`
My problem is very similar if not the same of the poster of this issue: Entry Title dropdown in Edit View doesn't list fields with relation type · Issue #8280 · strapi/strapi · GitHub
There is a workaround that describes how to store Fullname in the database:
Entry Title dropdown in Edit View doesn't list fields with relation type · Issue #8280 · strapi/strapi · GitHub
Instead, I am looking for a way to modify the admin panel to display Fullname as storing it in the database doubles the data.
I am new to Strapi am not sure if this is at all possible. I had a look through the strapi-admin panel.
- It would be of great help to know what file to modify?
- Do I need to use any hooks?
Thanks a lot in advance.
