<br>Not sure how you represent the Fields, I guess they are facts. Then what you've suggested is the usual approach, which I'm reducing to<br> TabSingle( $field: field )<br> Field( this == field,...)<br><br>If you have events with multiple fields, you can split this up<br>
when<br> TabMultiple( $fields: fields )<br> $field: Field( this memberOf fields )<br>then<br> insert( new TabSingle( $field ) );<br>end<br><br>And I'm sure you can guess how the "overall" event should work.<br>
<br>There is an ongoing discussion whether it is better to have many rules, i.e., one for each field with all the parameters coded into it, or only a few, e.g., one per type of checking action with parameters coming from a matched Parameter fact.<br>

I will concede that we had discussed an AgendaFilter only recently and a prototype did prove successful.<br>
<br>
It may not be ideal and based on this thread I'm challenging my team for a pure rule solution.<br>
<br>
Our specific issue is that the rules need to activate both when a field is tabbed off in a GUI, but also as a result of a higher-level validation of all data within our larger dog show event. In this case, if I added specific logic to the rule, how/when could the rule activate when the overall event is submitted to the session? Perhaps Context( (action == all) || (action == taboff, fieldsAffected contains field1)<br>
<br>
I viewed the filter as a direct way to allow the activations to be filtered (in the case of taboff, keep only the rules affected by the field)<br>
<br>
I would welcome any suggestions, I'm still trying to learn as much as I can.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the smell.<br>
