Value assistance vs TBO methods

Migrateduser

Hello everyone,

I would like to use value assistance queries in some attributes.
The assembled query contains a $value placeholder that contains an attribute that should be a calculated value (calculated by TBO).

According to my tests, my TBO functions are not called during the VA query evaluation, it seems for me that the $value(attributename) will be resolved using the raw data stored the the current object.

Is this correct?

(by the way, what I am trying to achieve is when you are on a subfolder in a hierarchy and open its properties, I need to find the top folder of this hierarchy where a topfolder.dropdownfolderid tells me where is the folder that contains the options of the dropdown that should be displayed:

select object_name from option_document where folder(ID('$value('topfolderId'))

and the topfolderid is determined by a TBO logic (going up in the structure until it find the top folder (marked with an attribute is_top = true))

Do you have better idea to solve this?

Thanks in advance for any hints or help.

Best Regards,
Jozsef
