Enhanced Extra Tree Fields Support

This release extends the Extra Tree Fields feature so hierarchical views can now display fields coming not only from the DOCUMENT table, but also from the PARENT_CHILD relation table.

This applies in particular to tree-based views such as:

children tree

parents tree

What is now supported

Extra tree fields can now be configured with richer metadata instead of only a plain field name.

Each configured field can now define:

name: the client-side attribute name shown in the tree output

source: the source table for the value

odocument

oparent_child

dbFieldName: the actual database field to read

aggregate: the aggregation to apply for relation-based fields

Parameter management improvements

Whatsnew_img14

The options management UI for Extra Tree Fields has been enhanced to support the extended configuration model.

It now allows administrators to manage:

source selection (document or parent_child)

client aliases

DB field names

aggregation for relation fields

field ordering

The updated parameter editor is designed to handle large field sets more effectively than the previous flat field picker.
