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.
Unfortunately I do need to combine LHS sentences and multiple RHS sentences, so your idea
isn't really an option in this case. :(
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!

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).
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:
[when]Do something with {field} and {value}=$f : Fact({field}=={value} then $f.{field} =
{value}
I've not tried it; nor know whether it fits your requirements.. but a hack worth
trying?

Hi folks,
Is there a decent way to set a value in the LHS of a rule so that it's available in
the RHS?
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.
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.
Any thoughts?
