I’m using the following versions:
Server version : 10.0.13.0-9784
Client version : 10.0.2046.1966-24727905
I’m trying to display the status of a service based on filtered rows in a table.
My container is correctly generating the child shapes, but it is not linking the shapes as I would expect.
When evaluating the [tableindex] placeholder it seems to be resolving correctly; however, the shape is always linked to the element to which the visual overview is applied and not to the service that is linked with the [tableindex] placeholder.
Do you know if I’m missing something?
When a children shape generates shapes for table rows, it actually generates element shapes that link to a parameter, similar to how you would do it for a separate parameter shape.
This means that inheritance applies here and any child will automatically link to that element. The consequence is your shape with element shape data is ignoring said shape data and is just linking to the parent’s element.
As with every one of these cases, this can be avoided by adding “AllowInheritance=False” (preferred) or “NoCopyElementProperty” (legacy) to your left shape’s Options shape data.
Our colleague Jarno gives a great explanation on this in https://community.dataminer.services/topic/grouping/
