View Relationships Connected to an Element

[audreykoz]

Hey Herve, Love the idea that you suggested on the forum, if you could develop it, that would be great:)

My apologies Audrey, as your request here was not precise, I must humbly admit that I had forgotten it ...

For reference, the request is: create a variable ${selected:xxx} that refers to the Archi concept that has been selected for the form.

this will allow filters like:

"filter": {
   "tests": [
      { "attribute": "${class}", "operation": "matches", "value": ".*Relationship"  },
      { "attribute": "${source:id}", "operation": "equals", "value": "${selected:id}" },
      { "attribute": "${target:id}", "operation": "equals", "value": "${selected:id}" }
   ],
   "genre": "AND"
}

I'll implement it ASAP but I suggest this small update in case several objects are selected before the form is launched:

• Everywhere a single value is expected, ${selected:xxx} will refer to the first selected object, like in the filter:

"operation": "**equals**", "value": "${selected:id}"

• Everywhere multiple values are expected, ${selected:xxx} will refer to all the selected objects, like in the filter:

"operation": "**in**", "value": "${selected:id}"

Gotcha, thank you!

Hi both I also need this functionality, i.e. accessing the relations of a selected object

Hi, This is precisely the funcionality that I am looking for, finding the relations of a selected object and the objects at the other end of the relationship. Is this still on the table (after 3 years)?

Hi, to be honest, I haven't work on this plugin for ages now. If you're trying to find all the objects that have got a relationship with your selected object, may be the visualiser included in Archi may be of some use for you ?

I like to find the behavioral elements that access a certain business object. Indeed the visualiser gets me there. Thanks.
