Error passing record type in Process Model

You'll have a much easier time if you can use the CDT type on your form instead.  AFAIK process variables can't be Record Type (and it seems a bit silly that we can't just cross-typecast them even now).  When in doubt, i find it can simplify things quite a bit to just pass a Primary Key ID around and handle the work on-form and/or in-process.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the prompt response. I am just trying to figure out the methods to use record relationships in interfaces. 

I tried changing the rule input to CDT but I am getting the below error:

"Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error in rule 'md_pm_projectsummaryview' at function a!integerField [line 6]: Invalid index type: Record relationship uuid: c4ecb714-5dcf-44a1-a824-db3ef50a5285 Record type uuid: facc26ec-c1c0-4a54-80e5-cf61552088b0 Relationship path: null"

I want to use only one rule input to access the other record. How can I do that? 

Should I pass two rule inputs to make it work? 

Will a!queryRecordType() help to resolve this issue? If so, where and how can I use it here? 

Thanks

Hi , summary view interface is basically used for record view in record type. I would suggest you to query your data in a local variable and then pass it to your fields. You can use queryentity or queryRecordType and yes you can use related data using a!relatedData in queryRecordType.

Hi Gopal,

Thanks for your reply. 

Can you advice how I should be using local variables to do this? Should I use  queryRecordType for each field?

I am clueless and would appreciate your help.

Thanks.

To best answer this you'll probably need to provide some background detail for us, such as what inputs you're starting with, what information you want/need to pass into your Related Action, and what your output/result needs to be.

With those sorts of questions left unanswered, my default suggestion is to perhaps just pass in the Primary Key ID to your form, then query its CDT value using a!queryEntity(), and use that data on your form for display purposes.

Above is a project summary view using the rule input projectinput. 

I am calling the project summary view interface in another interface Phase Title. I am using titleinput which is of phasetitle CDT to call the project summary interface. 

How to reference the fields of summary view using titleinput rule input? Prjoject and PhaseTitle have one to many relationship. 

I fixed the problem(don't know if this is a good practice) by using the expression: 

a!formLayout(
label: "Selected Project",
contents: {
a!sectionLayout(
contents: {
rule!MD_PM_ProjectSummaryView(ri!titleinput.projectid)
}
),

Both the interface and process model are working fine. 

But want to know how to use queryrecordtype() to do the same function.

I have another interfaces that must use the Phase title interface and don't know if the above expression will work the same way.

Thanks
