Assessable Record and Assessment Instance

[grahamyoungs]

I am trying to use the "default answer from script" method on an assessment metric to automatically fill the value of the resulting assessment instance questions from a field in the corresponding assessable record.

Is there a way to dot walk in the script back to the assessable record to pick out the data?

Specifically, the assessable records are GRC Entity Types. I am trying to fill the value of a string metric with the Name of each corresponding Entity Type.

Without getting too much into it, I think you are running into those cases where you have a "document_id" field that you cannot dot walk since it is just a sys_id. If that is the case, you will have to glide the right table for your "document_id" table on your script to get the information you want.
