Re: [rules-users] How to limit results from a collect statement

I know. Actually I didn't put any update or insert statement in the code just to make it simpler. The actual code looks like: when $itemList : ArrayList() from collect( Item( category == "VIDEO" ) ) then ItemDiscount disc = new ItemDiscount(10); insert(disc); $myFirstItem = (Item)$itemList.get(0); $mySecondItem = (Item)$itemList.get(1); $myFirstItem.addDiscount(disc); $mySecondItem.addDiscount(disc); update($myFirstItem); update($mySecondItem); Now, why this doesn't work at all? It does work if I write a rule for each item using in the when clause $item : Item from $itemList, but as I said I need to write a list-oriented rule.
