Baffled: Report List has two colored indicators, how is it done?

Hi there,

here is something that baffles me. After looking at the Report List for the n-th time I realized that there are two colored indicators, “Status” and “Is Standard”:

I thought I could use this and went straight to ~/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/core/doctype/report to have a look at report_list.js.

Alas there is no such file!

Does anyone know how this was done? As far as I know you can add the Status-field by using get_indicator: function(doc) {…} in ${doctype-name}_list.js, but this is not the way it’s done here.

They also suppressed the Name-field on the right side without using ClientScript, how do you do this?

Some fieldnames have hardcoded default indicator

github.com

frappe/frappe/blob/develop/frappe/public/js/frappe/model/indicator.js

// Copyright (c) 2015, Frappe Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and Contributors

frappe.has_indicator = function (doctype) {
	// returns true if indicator is present
	if (frappe.model.is_submittable(doctype)) {
		return true;
	} else if (
		(frappe.listview_settings[doctype] || {}).get_indicator ||
		frappe.workflow.get_state_fieldname(doctype)
	) {
		return true;
	} else if (
		frappe.meta.has_field(doctype, "enabled") ||
		frappe.meta.has_field(doctype, "disabled")
	) {
		return true;
	} else if (
		frappe.meta.has_field(doctype, "status") &&
		frappe.get_meta(doctype).states.length
	) {

To remove the name field on the right, use the similar below in the any doctype_list.js,

for eg: employee doctype, in employee_list.js,

frappe.listview_settings[‘Employee’] = {
hide_name_column: true
}

Thank you all for replying so quickly.
I would like to confirm for future readers that the hardcoded default indicator indeed is the cause for the observed behaviour.
Thanks, I didn’t know that such a thing existed.

As for the suppressed name field:
The catch is, the name field is here suppressed even when there is report_list.js file.

The answer:
In the DocType-Properties in “Naming” field “Auto Name” is set to “field:report_name”. In this case no additional name field is displayed.

Case closed, let’s party!
