    Improve Predicate_view interface. · c2da6fd8
    Kazuhiko Shiozaki authored
    * use parallel MultiListField to specify Membership Categories for each category instead of using a single long MultiListField for all categories.
    * display fallback category id instead of own id for using fallback cases (eg. region/europe for source_region categories).
      * update test to follow this change.
    * add LinesField to specify Membership Values (eg. source/person_module/123).
      * add an external validator for this field.
    * accept filter argument in getMembershipCriterionCategoryList to return categories only or documents only for membership values.

    A Predicate object defines a list of criterions
    which can be applied to test a document or to search for documents.

    Predicates are defined by a combination of PropertySheet values
    (ex. membership_criterion_list) and criterion list (ex. quantity
    is between 0 and 10). An additional script can be associated to
    extend the standard Predicate semantic with any additional
    script based test.

    The idea between Predicate in ERP5 is to have a simple
    way of defining simple predicates which can be later
    searched through a simplistic rule based engine and which can
    still provide complete expressivity through additional scripting.

    The approach is intended to provide the expressivity of a rule
