Create Nested Collections

Posted on by Bogdan

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build some nested collections:
=============================
ClearCollect(
colEintritt,
{
colCheckliste: {
colStandardsoftware: {
Standardsoftware: galStandardSoftware.Selected.lbl_Office365_2.Text,
angefordert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1.Value,
installiert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1_1.Value
},
colOptionaleSoftware: {
optSoftware: galOptionaleSoftware.Selected.lbl_Office_Project.Text,
angefordert: galOptionaleSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1_22.Value,
installiert: galOptionaleSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1_23.Value
},
colBerechtigungen: {
Laufwerke: txt_Laufwerke.Text,
angefordert: galBerechtigungen.Selected.Checkbox1_32.Value,
installiert: galBerechtigungen.Selected.Checkbox1_33.Value
}
},
Mitarbeiter: DataCardValue2.Selected.DisplayName,
Computername: DataCardValue3.Text,
Ticketnummer: DataCardValue4.Text
}
)
=============================
With the above, it works with only one row (record) being showed.
How can I add multiple rows in the 3rd Level Collection ?

With the method I know, it does not work:

Any respone would be appreciated. I can't go further because of this.

Thank you in advance !

To get multiple records at any level for a field you need to specify those records as an array of records. Take a look at this sample. Level 3 is specified as an array using square brackets.

ClearCollect( nestedCollection, { Title: "Level 1A", Level2: { Title2: "Level 2A", Level3: [ {Title3: "Level 3A"}, {Title3: "Level 3B"} ] } }, { Title: "Level 1B", Level2: {Title2: "Level 2B"} } )

Hi,

Thanks! This is close, if not exactly what I need.
One more question - is this the only solution as Value Arrays ? Is it not possible as simple data Records ?
{
                Standardsoftware: galStandardSoftware.Selected.lbl_Office365_2.Text,
                angefordert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1.Value,
                installiert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1_1.Value
            },
{
                Standardsoftware: galStandardSoftware.Selected.lbl_Office365_2.Text,
                angefordert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1.Value,
                installiert: galStandardSoftware.Selected.Checkbox1_1.Value
            }

From what I've tested the first level assumes that multiple records are in an array (collection). But for any additional levels you must declare them explicitly. If you take the collection and look at it in JSON format you can see that multiple records are always in an array. So, no I don't think you can nest multiple records at a different level in the same field unless they are put into an array.
