Is it possible to add the possibility to search for a value in an attribute instead of the default Description.


In our company they don't add the specification of the server in Description and they use the Description in another tool to add the business owners and the location where the servers are. The actual Description is put in an attribute.

Kind regards,

Just asking if this feature has already been added? We recnetly bought a new Site License as everyone was convinced this tool is more suited for us to use.
But I'm not seeing the possibility yet.

Kind regards,

Hello Günther,

Would your feature require you to specify 1 attribute as the description or would it require the concatenation of multiple attributes as shown in your "dev-sync-attr" screenshot?

This feature is still on our TODO list. We will bump up the priority and keep you updated on the progress.

It's only one attribute.

Hello Günther,

This feature has been completed internally and will be available starting from the next version of RDM.

A field named "Override description attribute" has been added. To use it, all you will have to do is write the name of the attribute as shown below :



In the example above, every entry synchronized to RDM will have their description affected by their name. Changing the attribute in the override field will change the description to that attribute's value.

Please do let me know if everything works properly once you can test it.

Hello Marc,

This TODO feature should have been completed and made available a long time ago.

Is this option maybe not visible on your end? Please let me know.

Hello Michael,
The option is visible, but I supposed the TODO item was concerning the possibility to concatenate multiple attributes in this field?
Or maybe I did get that wrong?

Hello Marc,

The original poster had mentioned that he only needed 1 attribute at a time so that is what we did.

If you would like, we could create a feature request on your behalf and see if we could handle a concatenation of multiple attribute?
