[rules-users] Can business people write rules?

[Jim West]

Hi there,

True, DSLs allows us to write rules (on DSRLs) in plain English, and
friendly enough for business people; but our use case requires business
people to write their own rules.

We found some support for this inside Guvnor. Guvnor's manual describe this
in:
1.4.2.4.1.2. Augmenting with DSL sentences
1.4.2.4.2. DSL rulesHowever, it appears once you include a "DSL Sentence" in
a Business rules with the guided editor, you can not modify (or build on
top) that row of the rule any further (forcing us to define the DSL Sentence
to be self contained since nothing can be added to that rule row through the
guided editor). Is this limitation going to be waived in the future?

Also, Augmenting with DSL sentences presents a 'form like' with data entries
for the rule author. This is good, but is it possible to make these data
entries 'combo boxes like' and actually provide to the rule author with a
list of options for each data entry? Something similar to the dynamic enum
support already in Guvnor.

Thanks in advance for your help/comments.

Best regards,
Jim
