Hi Guys, Gals, I have a bit of a question and (damn) it's a snowy weekend and I should be skiing instead. I noticed (with a protection exception in an error situation while trying to get a schema dump of ITSM 7.6) that AR_ENUM_STYLE_QUERY is now in use. Introduced in the 5.12 API, there have been no Remedy Administrators that offered the facility (until now presumably). There are a few forms in ITSM 7.6 that use this. My questions are rather simple. Do I have to perform the query myself? Or is there a convenient function that I can call to give me the appropriate set or single num/text (for my locale in ar_control - of-course). How is any server reference resolved? I may not match it against any servers I have and I may not even be signed on to it. (I don't copy user/pwd info in multiple ar_controls or sessions). And just how dynamic is this? Does the concept of a "set" make sense here? For example, can the query include fields from a user's "working record" or gotten record? Must I run the query each time I need a value / text check? (We may need an attribute like refreshcode from ARGetCharMenu() - why not in the CharMenu struct?). Menus do have a f() "Expand" for which I have this q() as well: How do I supply a set of fields/values for the queries? When I have an assignment to a record's enum I may have a variety of records gotten or even no records at all - as in Assign "xxxxx" to an enum field. It's obviously the way to go for a "data driven", "data customisable" app like ITSM (it's interesting to add association types etc to ITSM 7x). I would hope some expansion f()s are included with its use. I'm sure I'll have a bit more to ask as I delve a bit deeper into fleshing out this area. Looking forward to your responses.
