Community connector: setDateRangeRequired dynamic by other config options? - google-data-studio

Built a google data studio 'community connector' for which only some of the data tables it can connect to require date range but others do not. For some reason the question of "date range required" is a per-connector config option. But I'd like to set the value differently depending on what other config options are set, such as the report selected.
Is there a way to setDateRangeRequired at schema time or later, for example, using a function which returns a different boolean depending on the request (getConfig doesn't get a request object -- too early)?
Seems like the kind of thing that should be set with setSchema instead, which can dynamically return different schemas depending on the config chosen by the user. PS - I know I can just ignore the date, but it seems like bad design to have a user select-able date that does nothing.

No, this is not currently possible.
Since dateRangeRequired is something that must be set for the getConfig response, there's no way to change it based on answers to the config.

WordPress : make categories automatically match according to external API Value

I'm managing a company website, where we have to display our products. We however do not want to handle the admin edit for this CPT, nor offer the ability to access to the form. But we have to read some product data form the admin edit page. All has to be created or updated via our CRM platform automatically.
For this matter, I already setup a CPT (wprc_pr) and registered 6 custom hierarchical terms: 1 generic for the types (wprc_pr_type) and 5 targeting each types available: wprc_pr_rb, wprc_pr_sp, wprc_pr_pe, wprc_pr_ce and wprc_pr_pr. All those taxonomies are required for filtering purposes (was the old way of working, maybe not the best, opened to suggestions here). We happen to come out with archive pages links looking like site.tld/generic/specific-parent/specific-child/ which is what is desired here.
I have a internal tool, nodeJS based, to batch create products from our CRM. The job is simple: get all products not yet pushed to the website, format a new post, push it to the WP REST API, wait for response, updated CRM data in consequence, and proceed to next product. Handle about 1600 products today on trialn each gone fine
The issue for now is that in order for me to put the correct terms to the new post, I have to compute for each product the generic type and specific type children.
I handled that by creating 6 files, one for each taxonomy. Each file is basically a giant JS object with the id from the CRM as a key, and the term id as a value. My script handles the category assertion like that:
wp_taxonomy = [jsTaxonomyMapper[crm_id1][crm_id2]] // or [] if not found
I have to say it is working pretty well, and that I could stop here. But I will have to take that computing to the wp_after_insert_post hook, in order to reaffect the post to the desired category on updated if something changed on the CRM.
Not quite difficult, but if I happen to add category on the CRM, I'll have to manually edit my mappers to add the new terms, and believe me that's a hassle.
Not waiting for a full solution here, but a way to work the thing. Maybe a way to computed those mappers and store their values in the options table maybe, or have a mapper class, I don't know at all.
Additional information:
Data from the CRM comes as integers (ids corresponding to a label) and the mappers today consist of 6 arrays (nested or not), about 600 total entries.
If you have something for me, or even suggestions to simplify the process, I'll go with it.
Thanks.
EDIT :
Went with another approach, see comment below.

Accessing CustomFieldDefinition metadata via tooling api

So, I've been attempting to gather picklist dependencies per Opportunity record type for my lightning components. I have been able to retrieve Standard Field dependencies by RecordType, but it the Tooling API will not return the custom field dependencies. Standard calls and queries will not work either, as they state that the field has no controlling value or dependency.
Given this information I suspected that there was a table that is hidden somewhere that contains the keys for the RecordType and FieldDefinition, hopefully with a nested Metadata object.
I found an Id in one of the parameters in the setup menu for a Record Type and Id.getSObjectType() on it. The table name is CustomFieldDefinition. However, it is not accessible via SOQL or the Tooling API.
Has anyone accessed this table? Or has anyone been able to retrieve the field-record type picklist dependencies on custom fields AND standard fields?Tooling API ResponseDebug Log with SObject Name
I think you're doing it wrong.
"Controlling field" would be another picklist or a checkbox for example, something you change during same edit action. If you have dependency to record type - in that sense it's not a controlling field. Sure, you change record type and picklist changes - but really everything would change, it should be a different page layout (different fields shown, marked readonly/required etc). There's a reason that record type change is not done on normal edit screen, you do it by clicking special link on detail view and then everything "explodes".
Have a look at "User Interface API" - set of tools meant to help your custom app (mobile? desktop?) steal recreate a normal page layout. This one might be especially useful: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.uiapi.meta/uiapi/ui_api_resources_picklist_values_collection.htm
There's even a Trailhead: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/user-interface-api (skim through whole set but especially read last module)
And since you mentioned Lightning Components - are you aware of these ready tools:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.reference_ui_api
getPicklistValuesByRecordType
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.reference_generate_record_input_create
or maybe you don't have to code it all and stuff like <lightning-record-edit-form> with recordtypeid passed to it will solve all your problems
Have a look, if I didn't give you a working solution then at least you have some keywords to Google around. If you're still stuck - try to post a code sample as new question?

External access settings for Office 365 groups

I'm trying to update GroupSettings of individual O365 Group, however I always get error
Resource 'guid' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.
A code I'm using to update the group settings
var graphResult = graphClient.GroupSettings[guid].Request().UpdateAsync(groupSetting).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
I've tried to use Group guid as well as GroupSettings guid, none of that worked.
I can set the settings for the first time (overwrite defaults) using codde below, but update doesn't work afterwards.
graphResult = graphClient.Groups[guid].Settings.Request().AddAsync(groupSetting).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
Any idea what can be wrong please?
Thanks
You should use GroupSettings guid here.
I can repro your issue when I use an incorrect guid here.
You should firstly use GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groupSettings to find the GroupSettings guid of the GroupSetting you want to update.
Please note that you should include all the values in the request body even though you don't want to update some of them.
Then you could put it as the guid in your code.
It's stronly recommended to have a quick test in Microsoft Graph Explorer.
Since documentation doesn't say how to update settings for particular group, here it is: you need to use both IDs in call
graphResult = graphClient.Groups[groupGuid].Settings[settingsGuid].Request().UpdateAsync(groupSetting)

Salesforce: How does one retrieve whether a layout field has been marked as required?

So this is weird, wondering if perhaps SFDC is just returning "wrong" information.
I'm working with layouts for an object, and in the interface I have set a field in the default layout (there are no other layouts) to "required".
But, when I retrieve this layout from the API, the field in question's "nillable" attribute is TRUE when it should be FALSE.
Does salesforce expect data like this to be retrieved from somewhere else? Regardless it seems the API is lying.
The API is not lying - the field is only required by that particular layout, not by the underlying system.
If you want it to truly be required, you need to set this attribute on the field itself.

Update Drupal Application with an external DB script

I’m trying to update my Drupal application with an external script writing directly in the MySQL DB, I only need to modify one field of one specific datatype. I see it in a table named field_data_field_FIELDNAME but when I update this the application doesn’t change. I need to modify something else? Thanks
Assuming you are trying to change the field's value, try modifying both field_data_field_FIELDNAME and field_revision_field_FIELDNAME, then clear all cache.
Note that you do not actually need to clear all cache if you know what you need to clear, e.g. to clear the field's value for a particular node, you can use cache_clear_all('field:node:[your nid here]', 'cache_field');
If your are trying to change more than the field's value, I suggest you do it through the Field API.
