How can a UI Policy have a UI Policy Action on another table?

[MBarrott]

I want to make a UI Policy change on the [dmn_demand_task] table. 

Essentially, if the parent record on the [dmn_demand] table has a Type of 'change' then I wish to display a reference field which becomes mandatory. Anything other than change should mean the field isn't mandatory or displayed. 

What is the best way to accomplish this?

I tried building the UI Policy and the action does specify the task table, but it seemingly doesn't work.

Hi @MBarrott 

I tried in PDI for change task

You need to see , what is field name on demand table and then bottom you will get show related Field and than dot walk

Hi @MBarrott ,

Your UI policy should be on the dmn_demand_task table if you want the reference field to become visible and mandatory. In the UI Policy condition, you can dot walk to the Parent Demand to access the Type field. You can dot walk in the condition by selecting Show Related Fields. Please see the screenshots below:

Hi @Saloni Suthar,

This is exactly what I'm needing and initially what I had in mind. How are you able to dot walk with the condition? I'm not seeing the ability to do it.

Hi @Saloni Suthar, 

I figured how to bounce through with the dot walking, I had initially shown related fields but not ventured through the levels to reach parent.demand. 

This worked perfectly, thank you!
