Take the description of a group within another group

It does not work for me:

a!save(ri!new.autodealers,rule!getOffice(group(togroup(ri!new.autodealers),"description")))
that is, I want to send, save in my bb.dd, Office21 and not [Group: 66]

This is the action of saving when you press the send button
 
a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Send",
 value: true,
 saveInto: {
 a!save(ri!new.solicId, local!caseRandom),
 a!save(ri!new.applicant,loggedInUser()),
 a!save(ri!new.autodealers,rule!getOffice()) 
 },
 submit: true,
 style: "PRIMARY"
 )

Let's widen the scope a bit. You are saying "it is wrong" - what exactly does not work? What are your inputs and expected outputs?

Currently, after reading your expression again, I also notice:

- You are attempting to save an input into itself, which possibly might lead to problems if not for the fact that..

- The a!save is never executed because your component is readonly, so the user never interacts with it.

Since you say you want to save something on a button press, what's the save action in your send button?

I do not finish understanding what you want to explain to me. Could you give me an example?

Hi,

first, your a!save is not particularly readable. I recommend passing parameters explicitly and use newlines now and then.

As to the problem at hand, group() takes groupId as number and property as text. What you are doing in your expression is converting that input (66?) to [Group: 66], instead of a number. group(66,"description"), then, should help.
