Service Template – Skip Input data selection based on child element selection.

Solved226 views7th April 2025#ServiceTemplate child elements service service template

Hi All,

I have a service template where a child element selection is optional. Based on this child selection I have input data to be specified by the user for this optional child selection, with a selection type of “Table Row Index”.

As you can see this is a problem if the child element is not selected. The service template fails when it gets up to the input data selection for that child element if it was selected as “none”.

Is it possible to skip this input selection if the child element was selected as “none”. I can see for ‘Input Order’ under the advanced tab you can have conditions? but I was not able to find any documentation on this?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Hi David,

I’m afraid that there’s currently no way around this. There’s no concept of skipping input data based on it being linked to an optional child element.

The “conditions” you are referring to are the conditions as defined at the bottom of the “Child elements” tab. These can define rules about which elements can be joined together in a service and can aid in automatic element selection. As an example: if each generated service needs an element of type X and one of Y, the conditions could indicate that a specific parameter value must match between these elements, as to automatically match the correct X with the correct Y.
