ng-admin add a 'Create' button with default value based on filter

Question

I have a list view, and a filter. Let's say the user filter by a reference object. and he see no records found, I'd like to offer him to create a new record, but to use the picked value from the filter as an initial value for the new record.

I can't figure out how, thanks

Answer 1

You'll have to override the listView template and write a custom directive.

Pointers:

Answer 2

Continuing from @François Zaninotto answer,

It's very simple, we just need to add this:

default-values="search"

inside the ma-create directive, for each view we'd like it's creation to be based on filter results.
