It might be nice to have an action available in the action framework to allow us to “set the context” for merge syntax to a particular model and row (first, last, or number).
That way we could avoid creating a model just to store values that we need to use multiple times to ‘create a new row.’ (A very nice trick, btw. Hat tipped to Pat.)
And we can avoid merge syntax strings that always look like {{$Model.MyModel.data.0.Field__c}} instead of just {{Field__c}}.
This might be a way to solve the problem Zach mentioned here: https://community.skuid.com/t/upon-creation-of-new-row-in-a-different-model-does-the-c…
Thanks for the creative thinking. We will take this into consideration. We know that the idea of “context” has a lot of rough edges and it could be made clearer in our builder. This might help.
Surprised this hasn’t been made. Has it been 2 years since this was posted?
Came up again today. My use case to create a wizard where someone essentially drills down into the data structure in each step. Problem is that we currently have to set a condition on each level going down the data structure and query. ie. products
I will switch the setup to be Tables and Drawers to make this work, but I wanted to use a wizard.
