Hello all,

I want to read the value from the checkbox of the parent element:

Depending on this type I want to hide specific fields in the FS_CATALOG sub-element:

I don't want to have two templates nor two radio buttons for selecting the type (in the parent and in the child element).

Is it possible something like

<RULE>
  <WITH>
    <PROPERTY name="VALUE" source="#parent.st_type"/><!--value from the parent element -->
  </WITH>
  <DO>
    <PROPERTY name="VISIBLE" source="#form.grp_icon"/><!-- group in the child element -->
  </DO>
</RULE>

Kind regards,

Dragan Rakita

Hello,

as far as I know this is currently not possible out of the box. AFAIK you are bound to the context / object  the rule is implemented on.

See the following posts and feature requests (in German):

Zugriff auf Parent/Root-Felder aus FS_LIST in Rules

Regeln mit verschachtelten Objektstrukturen

What might be possible is to implement a module containing a value service which is used by the rule to determine the needed field from the parent element.
