How to automatically populate a boolean from a module with a parent list to a module with a child
, Hello,
I'm working with 2 modules: Module 1, where I'm using list "Product Family" (and List Employee) and Module 2 where I'm using list "Products" (and List Employee) .
The list "Product Family" is parent of "Products".
In my Module 1, I have a boolean used to know which product families are assigned to each employee. I want to have the same boolean in Module 2, based on the value defined in Module 1. That is, if the Product Family A is assigned to Employee X (boolean = true), then the Products from Product Family A are going to appear assigned to employee X (boolean = true).
How can I link both modules to have an automatic population of the boolean value ?
I already tried writing in the Module 2:
Line item "Boolean2" =Module1.boolean[LOOKUP: Parent]
Line item "Parent"= Parent(item(Products))
In advance, thanks for your help,
Regards,
Bruna

Hi,
as you have employee as dimension in both modules it's enough to have just parent in your lookup formula. So your fomula for Boolean2 would be Module1.boolean[LOOKUP: Parent] .0 -
Hi,
Thanks for the insight!!
Unfortunatelly, it does not work either way.
The boolean appears as False in Module 2 even though is true in Module 1(parent)0 -
Your SYS03 is a list?

Hello @Brfonseca ,
It is a system module dimensioned by P2 Product, which is the child of P1 Product Family.

I tried but it is not working.
I have the variable Time included. Is it a problem?0 -
Hello again,
It could unless it is included in both modules [E1, P1 and E1, P2] - not needed in the system module.

Could you specify where do you have time included? Could be also helpful to have screenshots of you model for us to gain better understanding on how to help you.

It worked! Thank you
Just another question: Is it possible to do this if the time scale for module 1 is in months and for module 2 is in days?0 -
Then you would need to add a lookup for month from day. This could be done through time settings module that would be by day and for each day you would calculate corresponding month.

What is the formula to do that?
