Dear community,
we develop an LCA using DOM model. This model includes definition with an “allow multiple” section. We are observing that such a definition does provide only fields belonging to sections not being set to “allow multiple” option in the LCA query. In other words a select in a query do not list fields of the section being set for “allow multiple”
On docs we found following
So it seems that what we observe is the expected behavior. In such case, this is a significant drawback and lack in the LCA and DOM implementation for our use case. Is there a way to solve or workaround it? Isn’t the support of “allow multiple” sections in the GQI in a roadmap?
Best regards,
Milos
Hi Miloš,
As you’ve seen in the documentation, this is indeed the expected behavior.
When a section is marked as “Allow multiple,” it can contain multiple instances of that section within a single DOM instance. In GQI, each DOM instance is treated as a single row. So, the multiple sections within a single DOM instance effectively function as a subtable within that row—a concept that GQI doesn’t currently support. Although this was discussed for the roadmap, it’s not a priority at the moment.
One possible workaround would be to retrieve the subtable from your DOM instance using an ad hoc data source.
Hi Sebastiaan,
thank you for the answer. We’ll investigate the ad hoc data source for this purpose. Anyway, support of DOM definitions with “allow multiple” section in QGI sounds to me like natural complement to LCA.
