Hi, I have a rule i created in Guvnor which works fine (see below) But i can not create and import the same rule from a decision table. I can not get the syntax to match when i upload the xls and view source. Everything below "when" i have as a Condition Everything below "then" is an Action Line 7: will not import. How do you create empty brackets in excel? Line 9: how do i write this using the pattern / constraint approach in excel? same with Line 11 and 12? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. | rule "DecisionA_OptionsAndFutures" 2. | salience 0 3. | dialect "mvel" 4. | when 5. | SCOProduct( productBookingPointId == 1 , productTypeId in ( 4, 5, 20 ) ) 6. | RuleSet( ruleSetName == "SCODecisionPointA" ) 7. | taskTemplates : TaskTemplates( ) 8. | then 9. | TaskTemplate TaskTemplate1 = new TaskTemplate(); 10. | TaskTemplate1.setId( 12038 ); 11. | insert( TaskTemplate1 ); 12. | taskTemplates.addTaskTemplateIfNew( TaskTemplate1 ); 13. | end -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Excel-Syntax-in-Decision-Tables-tp40295...

<http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n4029529/Capture.png> i'm still quite new to this i'm afriad. I've been able to get every line except 7 and 9 to import and look the exact same in "view source". I don't understand "prefix the empty pattern to another pattern:"? Say i only have one ruleset?

So it looks like if i don't enter a value in the "variable" cells the condition doesn't appear after import.

if i write TaskTemplates : TaskTemplates in the constraint cell and say 0 is the variable cell it imports correctly except for the unwanted 0. i.e.: TaskTemplates : TaskTemplates(0) if i don't enter a value in the "variable" cells the condition doesn't appear after import. TaskTemplates : TaskTemplates() same story applies with: TaskTemplate TaskTemplate1 = new TaskTemplate();
