I am version 6.7 of the software. I need to create a rule with input as CDT and loop through it to create a table to display. I create a variable with type any however when I specify the CDT fields its erroring out. Is there any workaround for this?

looks like its failing on doforeach("createJiralink",pv!jiraIssues.issueid)

Is there any workaround for this? ...

Nita,

Have you tried using the looping functions available in 6.7? This page may be useful to you:

I am aware of the looping functions. However am not sure how to create a rule where the input is a CDT, I need to do an action on the fields of the CDT

Us a rule input type of "Any Type" to use a CDT as input.

Thats what I am using. This is the rule I am trying to create
=ncolumntable({"Summary","Components","Owner","Developer","Verifier","Status","RMI Approval Status","RM Approval Status","Fix Version"}, ri!jiraissuesmaster.summary,doforeach("convertcommatospace",ri!jiraissuesmaster.components),ri!jiraissuesmaster.owner,ri!jiraissuesmaster.developer,ri!jiraissuesmaster.verifier,ri!jiraissuesmaster.status,ri!jiraissuesmaster.rmiStatus,ri!jiraissuesmaster.rmStatus,ri!jiraissuesmaster.fixVersion)

However I get this error
Expression evaluation error at function 'ncolumntable' parameter 2: Invalid index: Cannot index property 'summary' of type Text into type Text

Based on the error message, either the jiraissuesmaster rule input is type "Text" or the actual input into the rule is type Text and not the CDT you are expecting.

Since you are on 6.7, you should use apply() instead of doforeach.

jiraissuesmaster is the input parameter of this rule that I am trying to create.
jiraissuesmaster.summary is one the fields in this CDT. However its not accepting that. Please help

Based on the error message you supplied, whatever you are actually passing into the rule as input is of type Text and not a CDT.

On a somewhat unrelated topic, are you using 6.7.0 or 6.7.1 ?
