When the default functions of an object-related page cannot meet business requirements, you can use feature enhancement to add data processing, interaction control, button behavior, business judgment, and workflow logic on top of existing page capabilities.

Typical scenarios include:

  • Control field values and field behavior on an object create/edit page
  • Dynamically adjust display and interaction logic on an object detail page based on business status
  • Add batch processing logic, conditional buttons, and card behavior control on an object list page

Applicable Scenarios

This approach is suitable when an object-related page already exists, but the default interaction, workflow, or business logic is not sufficient and the page functionality needs to be enhanced.

Applicable Pages

  • Object create/edit pages
  • Object detail pages
  • Object list pages

When to Use Feature Enhancement

If you encounter the following requirements, feature enhancement is usually the preferred option:

  • You want to modify existing system field values, field behavior, or field display logic
  • You want to control interaction behavior such as titles, headers, buttons, cards, and batch processing
  • You want to add business validation and data processing before or after page submission
  • You want to dynamically control page behavior based on status, permissions, or data results

Development Approach

Feature enhancement can usually be understood in three steps:

  1. Identify which type of page function needs enhancement
  2. Choose an appropriate extension capability, usually a plugin first
  3. Integrate the extension point into the target scenario and verify the behavior

Development Workflow

  1. Clarify the Goal of Feature Enhancement

    Before you begin, confirm the following:

    • Are you modifying the title, fields, buttons, sections, or the submission flow?
    • Does this belong to display enhancement or behavior enhancement?
    • Does the enhancement depend on host context, page data, or business state?

  2. Choose the Extension Method

    Feature enhancement usually prioritizes plugins.
    If the goal is to add an independent visual capability, components and plugins can also be used together.

  3. Write the Enhancement Logic

    During development, focus on the following:

    • When the extension point is triggered
    • Context parameters and data sources
    • Conditional logic and business rules
    • Page behavior and user feedback

  4. Debug and Verify

    • Mobile: first preview in the online IDE, then verify through integrated debugging in the real host environment
    • Web: verify through integrated debugging with the local development environment, browser, and host environment

  5. Publish and Configure It in the Business Scenario

    After development is complete, publish the plugin or component and configure it on the corresponding object page or business scenario.

Key Focus Areas for Feature Enhancement

Field and Data Enhancement

Suitable for:

  • Modifying field values
  • Setting fields to read-only, required, or hidden
  • Handling form data backfilling
  • Adjusting detail table and related data logic

Key points to focus on:

  • Whether the data source is stable
  • Whether writing data back complies with business rules
  • Whether extra validation is needed before or after submission

Button and Interaction Enhancement

Suitable for:

  • Adding custom buttons
  • Hiding default buttons
  • Modifying button labels
  • Controlling button click logic
  • Handling batch operations and card interactions

Key points to focus on:

  • Button display conditions
  • Permission and status control
  • Feedback, navigation, and business actions after clicking

Page Behavior Enhancement

Suitable for:

  • Logic processing before and after submission
  • Logic processing before and after rendering
  • Behavior control for approvals, workflows, and lists
  • Dynamic display driven by page state

Key points to focus on:

  • Whether the extension point is triggered at the correct time
  • Whether the enhancement affects the stability of the original page
  • Whether exception fallback and compatibility handling are needed

FAQ

Q: When should I use feature enhancement instead of layout enhancement?

If your goal is mainly to modify existing system logic and interaction behavior, prefer feature enhancement.
If your goal is mainly to add a display block or local module, prefer layout enhancement.

Q: Must feature enhancement always use plugins?

Not necessarily.
If you are only adding a local display area or an independent module, components can also cover part of the requirement. But when host behavior control is involved, plugins are usually more appropriate.

Q: What is the relationship between feature enhancement and object extension pages?

Feature enhancement is more about modifying existing behavior and logic. Extend Form, Extend Detail, and Extend List are more about understanding the specific extension scope from the perspective of page objects.
