tagged value based on an other tagged value
« on: January 09, 2015, 03:09:54 am »
Lets says i have a requirement.
I have a tagged value "enum" type: IHM or FCT.
and an other tagged value "enum" undertype : window 1 or tab 1 if IHM or operationnal, performance if FCT

OK LETS EXPLAIN IN IMAGE....:


Can i have some king of relation on Tagged value 2 List/enum depending on the choice of the first tagged value


Hope that's clear in image, because today my brain has lost his hability to speak english (hope it comeback tomorrow though) :-[ :-[
Although the exemple use dumb data on purpose, nothing to do with my brain :D :D

EA can only cope with linear dropdown. Nesting is not possible. You need to think of some alternative. A simple solution would be to name them:
- IHM_Window1
- IHM_Tab1
- FCT_Operational
- FCT_Performance

Tag groupping will only "group" the tags.

I don't see a case where it allow me to do a dependency relation result in between tags.

Still a good info to have a clean presentation (nicely organised in groups) but not a solution to my problem.

Thanks Simon.

Okay, I didn't read your question clearly enough. I thought that you wanted structured tags rather than one value changing the possible values of the other tag.

There's nothing built in to EA to do it. I'm not sure if there's a broadcast for a tag changing but if so an an add-in could do it by changing the notes of the secondary tag.

Type=Enum;
Values=Operational,Performance;
