[FR] Add Owner to 'Default Table Columns' in Custom Sources

[shifuma]

I'm setting up a custom source for Matrix entries and looking for an option to add the Owner to the Default Table Columns to give the Matrix entries some context.

I see Parent but that seems to be different (Structures, I guess). Is it possible to add an Owner column?

That’s a little tricky, because the owners could span across multiple element types, so we don’t currently have a way to eager-load them.

If you don’t mind the performance hit, you could add the column yourself by adding this code to a module’s init() method:

use craft\base\Element;
use craft\elements\Entry;
use craft\events\DefineAttributeHtmlEvent;
use craft\events\RegisterElementTableAttributesEvent;
use craft\helpers\Cp;
use yii\base\Event;

Event::on(
    Entry::class,
    Element::EVENT_REGISTER_TABLE_ATTRIBUTES,
    function(RegisterElementTableAttributesEvent $event) {
        $event->tableAttributes['owner'] = ['label' => 'Owner'];
    },
);

Event::on(
    Entry::class,
    Element::EVENT_DEFINE_ATTRIBUTE_HTML,
    function(DefineAttributeHtmlEvent $event) {
        if ($event->attribute === 'owner') {
            /** @var Entry $entry */
            $entry = $event->sender;
            $owner = $entry->getOwner();
            $event->html = $owner ? Cp::elementChipHtml($owner) : '';
        }
    },
);

Thanks Brandon! I'll set that up and see how it performs for my site. Appreciate it.
