Making a task description show line item detail

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-DS/DM]

As long as you have the line item data in a container element (e.g.
LINEITEMS, multi-line), you can use
&LINEITEMS##& in the task description. Or you can use its variants that you
can select when you insert a multiline element into the task description via
the Insert --> Expression menu path.
 
If you need to code to get that line-item data, consider coding this as a
multi-line virtual attribute of the respective header-level object. You can
then insert this attribute into the task description as described above, but
don't need any additional container elements or data retrieval tasks, and
you can reuse it in the other scenarios.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz
 
P.S. From the modeling & reuse perspective it would be best to have this
virtual attribute returning not just the text, but the business object
representing it. Then you could have something like
&MYOBJECT.LINEITEMS##.Description& -- but I'm not sure if it will work,
being rather skeptical about it... Life's a mess sometimes...

Subject: Making a task description show line item detail
 
 
I would like to be able to create a standard task description that shows
line item detail. Eg. Shows PO number and then loops through showing the
line items underneath it. Is there a standard way of achieving this or do I
need to code this?
