Dot-walking
The dot-walking functionality provides access to field values on related tables from a form or a list.
The table may contain references to other tables, and the fields in these tables can be accessed using dot-walking.
With dot-walking you can build a chain of field names separated by dots. For example, incident.assigned_user.company references the company of the user assigned to the incident.
Dot-walking in the condition builder
You can use dot-walking in the condition builder. To understand which fields are reference fields and are available for dot-walking, look for the fields marked in bold and containing an arrow on the right. When clicking this arrow, you will be redirected to the field related to this form. The reference path will be displayed in the breadcrumbs.
Keep in mind the dot-walking limitations for fields of List type:
- Do not use dot-walking with a chain in more than one field to build conditions in the condition builder.
- Do not use it for list and form views configuration.
Dot-walking in layouts
When selecting a list of fields (for example, when you are configuring a form or a list), you can also dot-walk to fields from other forms. To understand which fields are reference fields and available for dot-walking, look for the fields marked in bold and containing a down arrow.
