Dot-walking provides access to fields on related tables from a form or list.
The table may contain references to the other tables, and the fields in these tables can be accessed using dot-walking.
Dot-walking builds a chain of field names separated by dots (periods). For example, incident.assigned_user.company references to the company of the user assigned to an incident.
Dot-walking in a choice list field
You can use dot-walking in the condition builder. To understand which fields are reference fields and are available for dot-walking, look for the fields marked bold and arrow right. When clicking this arrow, you will be referenced to the field related to this form. The reference path will be displayed in the breadcrumbs.
Keep in mind the dot-walking limitations for fields of the List type:
- For conditions in the condition builder, the limit is one-level-depth.
- For list views and form views configuring, using dot-walking is not allowed.
Dot-walking in layouts
When selecting a list of fields (for example, when you are configuring a form or a list), you can also dot-walk to fields from other forms. To understand which fields are reference fields and are available for dot-walking, look for the fields marked bold and arrow down.
