Writing a Custom JS Function

 this.getSelectedItemsHandler = function () {

 var ccItem;

 const tgvGrid = mainPageExtension.getTgvGrid();

 const treeGrid = mainPageExtension.getTreeGrid();

 const selectedRowsIds = treeGrid.settings.selectedRows;

 const count = selectedRowsIds ? selectedRowsIds.length : 0;

 // Add a dummy item to start the result collection (removed later)

 var resultItem = aras.newIOMItem(“DeleteMe”, “DeleteMe”);

 for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {

 const rowId = selectedRowsIds[i];

 const selectedRow = tgvGrid.getRow(rowId);

 const dataStr = selectedRow.cells[0].data;

 if (dataStr) {

 const data = JSON.parse(dataStr);

 var thisType = data.type; // this.getType();

 var thisId = data.id;

 var relshipItemType;

 var sourceItemTypeName;

 var isRelationship = false;

 // Check whether the method is being called from a relationship grid, the main grid or on an

 // individual item and build an array of item ids

 var relTypeId = aras.getRelationshipTypeId(thisType);

 if (relTypeId) {

 isRelationship = true;

 relshipItemType = aras.getRelationshipType(relTypeId);

 var sourceItemType = aras.getItemTypeDictionary(relshipItemType.getProperty(“source_id”), “id”);

 sourceItemTypeName = sourceItemType.getProperty(“name”);

 }

 // When starting from a relationship, get the parent item from the cache and then retrieve the related item

 if (isRelationship) {

 var parentId = relshipItemType.getProperty(“source_id”, "");

 var parentItem = aras.getItemById(sourceItemTypeName, parentId, 0);

 if (parentItem) {

 ccItem = parentItem.selectSingleNode(“Relationships/Item[@id='" + thisId + "']”);

 //If item isn’t cached, get

 if (!ccItem) {

 ccItem = aras.getItemById(thisType, thisId, 0);

 }

 //get related Part

 if (ccItem) {

 ccItem = aras.getRelatedItem(ccItem);

 }

 }

 }

 else {

 ccItem = aras.getItemById(thisType, thisId, 0);

 }

 // Add the item to the collection to be returned

 if (ccItem) {

 if (aras.isNew(ccItem)) {

 aras.AlertError(aras.getResource(“PLM”, “affecteditem.add_not_saved_item”, aras.getKeyedNameEx(ccItem)));

 return;

 }

 var tempItem = aras.newIOMItem("", "");

 tempItem.loadAML(ccItem.xml);

 resultItem.appendItem(tempItem);

 }

 }

 }

 if (resultItem.getItemCount() < 2) { return; }

 // Remove the dummy item

 resultItem.removeItem(resultItem.getItemByIndex(0));

 // Set the ChangeItem attribute for debugging purposes and return the results

 resultItem.getItemByIndex(0).setAttribute(“ChangeItem”, “Pending”);

 var methodArgs = {};

 methodArgs.results = resultItem;

 results = aras.evalItemMethod(

 ‘PE_ChooseCMItem’,

 ccItem,

 methodArgs

 );

 return resultItem;

 };

This function calls a new function which is an adapted version of the standard PE_GetSelectedItems Server Method.

// MethodTemplateName=CUI;

const dynamicView = options.dpnContext.getDynamicView();

dynamicView.getSelectedItemsHandler ();

This Method will be a menu item click handler.
