Prepopulate with filter values

[jonmifsud]

This is meant to take advantage of association filters once implemented as discussed in the this thread.

Allowing new entries created through the Association UI to pre-populate the filtered fields using the provided values.

@jonmifsud Could this be turned on/off ?

[jonmifsud]

At the moment no, I was assuming if you're filtering a 'create new' button you'd want any entries created from that create new button to be pre-populated with the required values.

If I want Articles from the "News" section creating a new one should pre-fill that field with news. But if you think it makes sense to be optional we just have to see where's best to store the 'prefill / no-prefill' information. I'm thinking with the filtering options which have been added to the core PR would be the most appropriate place. but open to suggestions.

I do no think so...

I totally understand your point and it is valid. But I sometimes deal with clients that are not super tech savvy and this would confuse them...

[jonmifsud]

Understand your point too. Would you think this should be a site-wide or a field setting?

Thought question. I think I would rather see it at a section level (just like filtering).

I'm not up-to-date with the Symphony core development: is this ready to be pulled or does the code still need to be reviewed and adjusted?

[nitriques]

@jonmifsud needs to add a setting for this.
