Hi all,
I would like to display one propertyKey for a recursive
relationship and the rule doesn't seem to work as it does for a
normal relationship to a different entity. Do I need to do
something special for this case? The rule I am using has no
effect and I am not sure why.
100 (entity.name = 'Activity' and propertyKey =
'parentActivity') => keyWhenRelationship = "activityTitle"
Thanks,
David
Looks like it should work... But you'll be writing a lot of rules
that way. Try something like
(propertyType = 'r' and relationship.destinationEntity.name =
'Activity') => keyWhenRelationship = "activityTitle"
That didn't work.
If that doesn't work either, try refreshing your workspace.
That didn't work either.
What component are you using and what is it showing you instead?
userPresentableDescription()?
I think I figured it out based on this hint. It is using the
ERMODList, so it is creating embedded components which are different
than I was thinking about. The rule is working for the to-one
relationship, and it looks like I have to specify the
displayPropertyKeys for the embedded lists in order to get them to
display what I want. I guess I was thinking that the embedded list
for a to-many would automatically just have the one key I had
specified. Another thing that threw me is that it didn't change the
Property Key label as I was expecting. It is still named as the
relationship even though it is displaying the title.
That makes sense. If you want to change that to "Activity Title" you
can set displayNameForProperty directly. By default, it is localized
with the key "PropertyKey.parentActivity" but you can reassign that
with the rule system using something like:
100: pageConfiguration = "ListEmbeddedActivity" and
parentPageConfiguration = "SomethingSomething" and propertyKey =
"parentActivity" => displayNameForProperty =
"PropertyKey.activityTitle" [ERDDelayedLocalizedAssignment]
Or you could go with "EntityName.Activity" or whatever else suits you...
