Hi BillW...
Have you found any solution on the parent!parent! issue?
I need to call a custom attribute from the toplevel component to apply on my sub-sub- component.
Hello Daniel,
Currently, you are only allowed to reference attributes in the parent or in children. If you need a custom attribute of a grandparent to drive a formula inside a grandchild, you have to do it with two formulas instead of one.
Inside the grandparent:
CustomWidth = 10
Inside the parent:
InheritedWidth = parent!CustomWidth
Inside the child:
MyWidth = parent!InheritedWidth
The idea is for each component to live in its own little world, and have the list of what's configurable be dependent on the parent it's inside of.
For example, if you were designing a set of cabinets, you may have a subcomp called "Drawer" that has 10 configurable options on it. But as soon as you nest that inside of a "Cabinet", you may choose to only create pulldowns for 3 of those (by wiring the drawer attributes to be driven by the cabinet's).
At least, that's the vision. There are certainly ways that we can think of to make all of this easier, so please keep the feedback coming!
