Dates in a custom PO template

[sufyan-mukadam]

I am trying to customise our own PO template for use with some of our suppliers. I have manged to make most of it work but I am stuck on an issue regarding dates.
When a PO is created, a creation date is saved and we need this on the PO. But when I had a look at the context variables exposed, the creation date is not part of it.

Is there a way of accessing this in the template editor or would this require some backend changes?

This is clearly a question and not a bug / feature request; please use discussions in the future

Will keep that in mind in the future, I did think about posting it as a discussion initially, but if it is not currently possible, I would like to raise a feature request for this.

If you're running Inventree>=0.18, you may also want to try out this plugin. This will get you auto completion for all available context variables, filters, ... Would really appreciate some feedback about it.

I have set it up on a test server but I can't get it to function properly:
When I open the template editor, I get the lsp tab.

When I click on it, it is blank, what is the expected behavior here?

Also, when I click back to code, the contents disappear:

Hey, the expected behavior is to see another code editor, like in the screenshot of the readme. Can you please open the browser console and share a screenshot of any error you see (console tab + network tab)?

[sufyan-mukadam]

I don't get the code editor, the lsp tab is just a blank page from what it feels like, please see the screenshots attached:

Could it be, that you followed the development install guide somehow and set the INVENTREE_REPORT_LSP_DEV env variable? The docker install guide should normally just work as is. Just install the plugin via the Admin Center and then make these two changes to the docker stack and you should be up and runnning.

@wolflu05 You're right, that's what was causing the issues, I will try again this weekend!
