Tag Control fields not working in SSUI about manageiq-ui-service

@dtaylor113 can you please take a look here?

Hi, what are "tag control fields"? Is this just a 'DialogFieldDropDownList', or does it have something to do with the tagging api?
I am able to see dialog drop down lists in Ops UI and SUI:

@dtaylor113 I don't know how it is implemented but it is a specific type of field proposed by CloudForms when creating a dialog. When you select this type of field, you then have to select the tag category you want to expose. My workaround is currently to use dynamic Dropdown List calling an instance /UI/DDL/TagControl_<tag_category>, itself calling a method with the following code:

dialog_field = $evm.object
dialog_field['sort_by'] = 'description'
dialog_field['sort_order'] = 'ascending'
dialog_field['data_type'] = 'string'
dialog_field['required'] = true

tag_name = $evm.current_instance.gsub(/^TagControl_/, '')
c_hash = Hash.new
$evm.vmdb('classification').all.each do |c|
  next if c.parent.nil?
  next unless c.parent.name == tag_name
  c_hash[c.name] = c.description
end

$evm.log(:info, "Dialog Field Values : #{c_hash.inspect}")
dialog_field['values'] = c_hash

This workaround allows me to expose tags in the SSUI. A positive side effect is that I can add extra filtering based on content when I have a (hierachical) relationship between tags.

Hi @EvenIT , thanks for the info., I'm somewhat new to MiQ Ops UI, where exactly can I create a new dialog? I'm in Services -> Catalogs, and Services -> Service Catalogs. I see under Configuration where I can "Add a New Catalog" and "Add a new Catalog Item", "....Bundle". I run through those wizards, but I do not see where I can create a new dialog -I see where I can select an existing dialog.
Thanks,

• Dave

Also, just wanted to chime in here. @EvenIT is this for the Self Service UI (this repo) or for the main MIQ repo?

@chriskacerguis , I believe the bug is in SUI, not being able to display a dialog field type.

@dtaylor113 In the Ops UI, go to Automate -> Customization. Then select to the Service Dialogs area of the accordion. Then click on the Configuration menu and hit Add a new Dialog. here are a couple more screenshots to show you the current flow

@chriskacerguis I'd consider this as a bug. At this point, any service should be "orderable" from the Self Service UI. This issue blocks that 😺

Thank you for the information!!!
