Property

Description

condition

Condition consists of a pair of an attribute ID and a condition value. The condition value can be one of the following:

• any non-empty string that contains the value that the condition attribute must have, e.g. "Yes"
• the string "*" which means that condition attribute contains any non-empty value

dependent attribute

The attribute that is required to be non-empty when condition is satisfied

error message

The error message that will show up in PDX UI if expression is true, but conditional attribute was not set to a value

Code Example:

BusinessRule rule = BusinessRuleBuilder.dependentAttributeRule("RULE_ID")
    .withCondition("COMPANY_NAME_ATTRIBUTE_ID", "PDX")
    .withDependentAttribute("PDX_INFO")
    .withErrorMessage("When company name is PDX, then PDX-info is required")
    .build();

This produces the following JSON output when rule is serialized:

{
  "id": "RULE_ID",
  "templateId": "dependentAttribute",
  "errorMessage": "When company name is PDX, then PDX-info is required",
  "namedAttributes": {},
  "parameters": {
    "dependentAttribute": "PDX_INFO",
    "conditionAttribute": "COMPANY_NAME_ATTRIBUTE_ID",
    "conditionValue": "PDX"
  },
  "requiredContexts": [],
  "execution": "CONTINUOUS",
  "businessRuleScopes": [],
  "staticProperties": {}
