any usage of the "=" operator is generally suspicious.. <br>

<div>Thanks for the cheat idea Mike. I wasn't really expecting any
help from the tooling itself. Just hoping that there might be
some trickery within the DSL that I could try, to generate some
code which would set up a variable for me.</div>

<div>Unfortunately I do need to combine LHS sentences and multiple
RHS sentences, so your idea isn't really an option in this case.
:(</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As it is I have created a little enumeration in the RHS
sentence, and it's not looking too bad. At least, with some
selective wording, it doesn't look completely redundant!</div>

<div>This would need to be provided by the tooling; I
don't think it's something that's even remotely
possible at runtime (unless you stored the field name
in a Fact and used reflection on the RHS).<br>
<br>
</div>
That said (and you're going to guess my next comment)
this is not provided in the guided editors. Depending on
how complex your DSLs are and whether users need to
combine DSL Sentences; IDK if a "cheat" works:<br>
<br>
</div>
[when]Do something with {field} and {value}=$f :
Fact({field}=={value} then $f.{field} = {value}<br>
<br>
</div>
I've not tried it; nor know whether it fits your
requirements.. but a hack worth trying?<br>

<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a decent way to set a value in the LHS
of a rule so that it's available in the RHS?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Reason being I have a DSL driving the guided
rules editor which will pluck out the value of a
field, where the name of that field is driven by a
drop down menu enumeration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A change I now have would be a lot easier if I
could assign a string to a variable in the LHS,
which could be read by the RHS. Otherwise I might
need to extend the RHS DSLs to include the same
enumeration as the LHS. Which looks a bit redundant
for a business user wondering why the need to write
the same thing twice.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts?</div>
