Link and array elements

[sigtb02]

Is there a way of introduce array elements inside in link record, so it can reproduce the link by the number of elements inside an array. I am looking, looking and looking at Peregrine documentation, but things are not clear in there. I saw the mention of $fill.list (If an array is specified here, a fill against the field will allow the user to select an entry in the array instead of going against a seperate file. Did anyone use this yet ?? Maybe the use of $fill.list in combination of $fill.recurse, anyone have a sugestion ??

Can You give a more detailed example of what You want to accomplish?



I have not used the $fill.list so I don't know what it does.

My problem resides in Change Management. When i try to associate more than one asset at a time in the screlate.device.cm3r link file. The form i am using is cm3r.rfc.impl.g and this one deals with multiple assets that never get related to there changes. I wish to render this functionnal because all other forms dont post back to assets database, therefore not respecting ITIL best practices.

Marc,



Are you trying to fill the 2nd/3rd etc. element within the assets array and it is only filling the 1st element again?



Or do you want "multiple selection" of assets that should be entered into the array "all at once"?

Under normal conditions, using a normal field-based array (so not a var), the us.link application manages this correctly.



Normal conditions are:

1 - field name in link is identical to field name on form (i.e. assets on form and assets in link)



2 - regular target field names (no vars)



This function did do "funny" stuff in the 4.0.0 - 4.0.4, but should be OK (tested on SC4.0.7).



If you still run into funny stuff, check out the link expressions in cm3r.assess.default, for assets. These expressions more or less do the same as the us.link application.



Success, and pls let me know if you are trying anything else that described above, as I do have other "functions" developed under SC3.0, for filling a $array, using multiple fill statements.

To the best of my knowledge it is possible to fill multiple elements to an array using a RAD application called fill.checklist. Unfortunately this has never been available on general release.
