Update Category

1. Creating the Update Form

• A dynamic form is designed on the UI:
  
  • Select Box / Table → Select existing category
  • Text Input → Category name
  • Text Input → Description (optional)
  • Dropdown → Select parent category (optional)
  • Button → ‘Update’ button

2. Retrieving the Selected Category's Information

• The Get Category action distributes the existing information for the selected category to the form components.

3. Add the Update Category Action

• When the ‘Update’ button is clicked:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick > EAV > Category > Update Category action is added.

• Parameter mappings are done as follows:
  
  • Id → Symbol Picker > Action Result > Get Category > Id
  • Name → Symbol Picker > Form Component > Text Input
  • Description → Symbol Picker > Form Component > Text Input
  • ParentId → Symbol Picker > Form Component > SelectBox

An administrator wants to add a description to the previously created category ‘User Information’ and link it to the parent category ‘Basic Information’:

1. The ‘User Information’ row is selected in a table.
2. The Get Category action loads the existing information into the form components.
3. The administrator edits the ‘Description’ and ‘Parent Category’ fields.
4. The ‘Update’ button is clicked and the Update Category action is executed.
5. The system updates the relevant category record with the new information.

• Conditional Update: Editing permissions can be defined according to specific user roles.
• Validation: The process can be blocked if the ‘Name’ field is empty; the system can check if there is another category with the same name.
• Toast or Modal Notification: The user can be informed after the update.

Technical Risks

• Empty or Invalid Id: If the Id parameter is not entered or does not exist in the system, the process will fail.
• Empty Name: Name is mandatory and should not be left blank; the system may return an error.
• Invalid ParentId: If an invalid or deleted parent category is selected, the system may encounter conflicts.
• Beta Version Risk: As this feature is in beta, some scenarios may be unstable.

The Update Category action enables the maintenance and updating of categories defined according to the EAV data model on the Kuika platform. Whether you need to change names, add descriptions, or create hierarchical structures, this action offers a flexible and effective solution. Although it is in beta, it can be used safely in productive applications when used with care.
