Posted on by Rubalingam S

Hi,

I have two custom model for example, Model "A" and Model "B".

I added reference of model "A" in Model "B" (B <- A), and I extended "ProjJournalTrans" Table from model "B" and added few fields. Now I need to access the fields which is created in Model "B" from Model "A".

Can someone guide me how I can achieve this?

Thanks and Regards,

Rubalingam.S

If model B has a reference to model A, it means that model B can use objects defined in model A, but A knows nothing about B and it can't access objects defined there.

As martin suggested you cannot access Model B objects from Model A.

But there is a new functionality which is added in the latest version. "Friend Packages functionality" - Its showing in the "update model parameters screen". But I cannot find the proper documentation for friend package functionality.

From my understanding I guess it will be used to access the internal method from Model B inside Model A.

Check whether you can be able to access the fields if you select Model B as friend packages in Model A.

Thanks,

It had not come to my attention that we could not use mutual references between the two models(or I don't remember right now).

I think we are solving this issue as a process, there is no need for such a request.

Probably in this case I would also have a C model and I would reference both models and do the development in the C model.

Hi Rubalingam,

First check if you really need two separate models. Or like mentioned above, you can create a model C. If you only need models A and B, there is an option. You can use DictTable, DictField classes and the Common object to interact with the objects from another model; even if there is no model reference. Keep in mind that still model A does not know anything about model B. Also, it could be the case that model B is not installed on a specific environment. Ensure you will first evaluate if model B is installed before trying to create e.g. a common object from the ProjJournalTrans table and get details from the new fields.

Hi,

I think mutual dependencies is not supported as it might cause circular dependencies issue. For this one I think if possible you need to do it in same A model or at least moving the table extension to A model due to model hierachy.
