Hello Dojo,
I have a field descriptor on a DOM section definition that is of type "ElementFieldDescriptor", like so:
I use this on a table, on a LCA. I can see that for the dom instances using it, it is showing the element with the format DMAID/ElementID.
But, if I open it on a form component to edit the dom instance, it resolves the id to the element name, which is much more user friendly.
Any possibility to do it on the table? (Without having to do it on automation)
Hi Ana,
The table component in the LCA simply displays the data that is returned by the GQI query. In this case, these are the values stored within DOM instances. For an ElementFieldDescriptor, the element ID in the '<DMA ID>/<Element ID>' format is stored as a string on the DOM instance. This is what you are seeing in your case. There is no automatic resolving in place for this, just like the other DOM field types and other GQI data that may reference other DataMiner objects.
The general idea is that you can now, using this ID, join the data that you want into the query. Using this element ID, you can join the 'Get elements' data and select the name from that. For elements, this should be fairly performant.
