Custom Item Description

ERPNext Stock/Inventory
1

Currently, the Item Description field is set to the Item Name + Attributes abbreviation by default when creating items. I want to use the attribute description (and/or any other field value) instead of abbreviations in the Item Description. How can I achieve this?

Hi @alphaomegaphi,

Possible, Use the “In Preview” feature.

Hi @NCP It does help, thanks!

Now, it doesn’t work with Table fields. So, I ended up writing a custom script to add the attribute values to the description field. Here’s the code below if someone find it useful:

frappe.ui.form.on('Item', {
    validate: function(frm) {
        // Triggered when the Item form is validated (before saving)
        updateItemDescription(frm);
    }
});

function updateItemDescription(frm) {
    // Construct the item description with attribute values
    var item_description = frm.doc.item_name + ' / ';
    frm.doc.attributes.forEach(function(attribute) {
        // Access attribute value and append to the description
        item_description += attribute.attribute_value + ' ';
    });

    // Update the item description field
    frm.set_value('description', item_description);
}

Perfect, nice! But it only works when doing single variant, do you know the code for it to work also when generating multiple ?

I have not. I think for that your will need a server side script that look up the recently created variants an update the description field.
