<div><br></div> Given that your restriction is "this 'options' and only them, at least one instance of each", and you need that in a "generic way", best is for you to create your own accumulate function. For Drools 5.1.1 your template would look like:<div>
<br></div><div>$options : List() from accumulate( </div><div> $op : Option(),</div><div> matchAll( [ ${param}, $op ] ) )</div><div><br><div> Where ${param} is the list of options the user type in the decision table cell and matchAll is your own accumulate function with the semantics you described.</div>

Thanks for the options, Bruno and Wolfgang.<br>
<br>
But is there a more 'generic' way to do the matches ? The problem I have is<br>
that the # of instances that might match could vary. And I have to provide a<br>
means for the business users to be able to provide that 'option's code'<br>
using a decision table. Basically I need to be able to provide a construct<br>
that's would look something like :<br>
<br>
Options<br>
"P1,P2"<br>
"P1,P4,P5"<br>
<br>
So in the above decision table had 2 rules where in the first row represents<br>
a rule that matches against Options with Codes P1 and P2. And the second<br>
rule would match against options with codes P1, P4 and P5.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to represent this using Drools decision tables ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Gurvinder<br>
