How to show the attribute value(s) of a referenced Object

Frederic Wolf

Hi,

I'm currently looking for a possibility to show the values of an referenced object within the object. you can compare it best with a VIEW in a database.

Example:

Object Type: Printer

Attributes:

• Name [Label]
• Serial
• Model (Reference to "Printer Models")
• Manufaturer (Value of the referenced Object in "Printer Models", of the referenced Object in Manufacturer)
• Article Number (Value of the referenced Object in "Printer Models")

 

Object Type: "Printer Models"

Attributes:

• Name [Label]
• Manufaturer (Reference to Manufacturer)
• Article Number

 

At the moment I have created an Automation Rule which does the Job.

Rule:

When: Object updated

If: Object matches IQL: objectType in objectTypeAndChildren("Models") AND "Model" IS NOT EMPTY

Then: Lookup objects: "Name" IN ("{{object.Model.Name}}") AND objectType in objectTypeAndChildren("Models")

And: Edit object attributes:  Manufacturer --> {{lookupObjects.Manufacturer.Name}}

 

The Rule is working very well, but it would be nice if I can show the referenced object attributes directly.
