attributes

Purpose

To add custom attributes to scaffolding tags.

Examples

birthDate(attributes:[year:2000..2011])

Description

Adds extra attributes to the GSP tag used to display the edit field for the specified domain class property. For example, the rendered tag in scaffolding for the birthDate property above would look as follows:

<g:datePicker name="birthDate" … year="2000..2011" … />

Hence, the scaffolded view would limit a user to the years 2000-2011, as dictated by the g:datePicker tag.

This constraint only works for boolean (checkbox), date (datePicker), and collection (*select) properties.

Error Code: This constraint only impacts the scaffolding and does not create errors.
