Hi,<br><br>This is somewhere between a bug and an enhancement:<br><br>Currently the Template Editor does not support template keys for Metadata or Attributes; i.e. your requirement is an enhancement.<br><br>You can however provide literal values formatted as template keys (e.g. @{xx} as you have discovered); i.e. there is a bug.<br>
<br>The enhancement has already been reported here: <a href="https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GUVNOR-1907">https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GUVNOR-1907</a><br><br>Please note, with 5.4 you can use a web-guided Decision Table. <br>
<br>These support BRL fragments for columns (i.e. you can define a column that
uses any feature in the BRL\Guided Rule Editor or Template Editor) and
they already support interpolation of values for both Meta-data and
Attributes.<br><br>With kind regards,<br><br>Mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 August 2012 18:38, dunnlow <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dunnlow@yahoo.com" target="_blank">dunnlow@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I find myself sometimes wanting to use templates to map a string to a<br>
metadata value or timer. For example, based upon a name, set a value for<br>
the timeout. As far as I can tell however, the only way to create a<br>
template column in guvnor is to include the column identifier in the LHS.<br>
<br>
For example, I have a basic rule template that checks a name (there is only<br>
a "name" column in the template matrix). Then, I click on options, add a<br>
timer and give it a value of "@{timeout}" I get an error - the timeout<br>
column does not exist in the template. However, if I write a dummy<br>
expression on the LHS like "foo" not matches timeout, the timeout column is<br>
created and everything is great once I set the value. If I delete the<br>
predicate that uses timeout, I get an error again for the timer attribute.<br>
<br>
This gets really ugly because I end up having (seemingly) useless<br>
predicates. Is there a clean way to support this functionality?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
