# Node Name to Infofield

![No UI](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=UI&message=none&color=inactive)

The "Node Name to Infofield" plugin fills the sort-infofield-value with the node name when a new node is created or the name of a node has changed. There is also a task which fills the sort-infofield-value of each node if they are empty.

**This is simply a workaround** that can be used in conjunction with `tree.containerTreeOrderByResolver=customFieldContainerTreeOrderByResolver`, as this resolver currently "randomizes" the sort order if the sort information field is empty (instead of falling back to the node name).

## Properties

To be configured in *{home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties*.

##### nodeNameToInfofield.sortFieldId=

> type: InformationFieldId, **required: yes**, default: -

The information field to copy the node name to.

##### nodeNameToInfofield.nodeTypeIds=

> type: List of NodeTypeId, **required: yes**, default: -

Whitelist of node types that should be affected by the plugin. This should probably reflect those configured in `tree.containerOrderByCustomField`, but doesn't have to.

##### nodeNameToInfofield.overwriteSortField=

> type: String, required: no, default: false

If true, the configured information field will always get updated with the node name, even if it already has a value.
