Backstage EntityPicker Field Extension Plugin

This plugin for Backstage provides a ScaffolderFieldExtension that enhances the functionality of the EntityPicker field. The plugin allows you to configure which property of the entity (Entity) will be used as the value for the options, as well as which property will be displayed as the label for these options.

Configuration

Configuration is done through the field's settings in the template. The following options are supported:

• ui:options.fieldOptionValue: Specifies which entity property will be used as the value for the options. This allows dynamic selection of the option values based on specific entity properties.

• ui:options.optionsLabelVariant: Specifies which variant of the label should be used for displaying the options. The supported values are:

  • primaryTitle: The primary title of the entity.
  • secondaryTitle: The secondary title of the entity.
  • entityRef: The entity reference.

Example Usage

Example configuration of the EntityPicker field in a template:

ui:field: ExtendedEntityPicker
