Accessing "root" field from a JSON array

#1

Hi,
If my schema is something like:

name: ‘a’,
details: {
detail1: ‘b’,
detail2: ‘c’,
}

and i want “details.detail2” to take the value from “name”, how can I do that?

thanks!

Fields from the parent scope are available in the child scope, so you can use a formula field with the value of “name”.

I tried that but it didn’t work… it says the “name” is not defined and when I uses fields inside the details (such as detail1) it finds them without writing the “details.” prefix.

Here’s a working example:

Thanks but you didn’t use JSON array there. That’s my problem

I’ve updated the example to use JSON array. The same should work for both objects and arrays: http://www.mockaroo.com/9d551620
