Unmap Entity Attribute

1. Listing Existing Attributes on the UI

• The attributes associated with the entity are listed with the Get Entity Attributes action.
• The user selects the attributes they want to remove.

2. Action Definition

• The following action is added to the ‘Remove Field’ or ‘Delete Link’ button:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick > EAV > Entity Attributes > Unmap Entity Attribute

• The parameters are set as follows:

• EntityId: Symbol Picker > Form Component / Select Box
• AttributeId: Symbol Picker > Multi Select / Action Result

3. Using the Action Result

• After the link is removed:
  
  • A notification message is displayed to the user (Show Toast)
  • The current attribute list is reloaded (Get Entity Attributes)
  • The dynamic form is recreated or updated

In a CRM application, a user wants to remove the ‘Occupation’ field from a customer card that is no longer in use:

1. The user selects the entity of the customer type.
2. The linked attribute list is displayed.
3. When the ‘Occupation’ field is selected and the “Delete” button is clicked, the Unmap Entity Attributes action is executed.
4. The ‘Occupation’ attribute is only separated from that entity; it is not deleted from the system.

• Bulk Removal with Multiple Selection: The user can remove multiple attributes at the same time.
• Conditional Removal: Only certain roles or permissions can delete attribute links.
• UI Automation: After the attribute is removed, it can be automatically re-rendered in the Dynamic Form or Table element.
• Undo Feature: Optionally, removed attributes can be temporarily stored in memory to be re-linked.

Technical Risks

• Invalid EntityId or AttributeId: The operation will fail if the parameters are incorrect or missing.
• Unrelated Attribute: The system will not perform the operation if the selected attribute is not already associated with the entity.
• Data Loss Perception: This operation does not delete data; however, the user may mistakenly believe that data has been lost. An informational message should be added.

The Unmap Entity Attribute action is a critical tool for simplifying the dynamic data model, removing unnecessary fields, and keeping form structures up to date in the Kuika platform. It can be used efficiently in applications that require user-specific form and field management.
