Hi there, I’ve hit an issue trying to update an item in an array within an object variable using partial update.
Here is the Object with the element I’m trying to update highlighted:
And I’ve added the relative path in the formula
I can see that I’m targeting the correct element, as the result is being read correctly, however when testing, the element is not updating. I feel like I’m making a rookie mistake here. Any advice would be most helpful. 
Hi! I have two thoughts:
item.parent.parent.index, item.parent.index and item.index). Are you sure this is correct?Hey Max, thank you for your feedback,
Based on the object structure i think the indices correspond accordingly:
item.index = ratings
item.parent.index = bars
item.parent.parent.index = data
I can use partial update formula to update items at the first level, but I can’t seem to update items at 2nd or 3rd.
I’ll try the JS route as per your suggestion.
Odd,
There has just been a application maintenance and now the item menu has disappeared!
I now have no access to the scope of the current item.
Are you trying to update a value in a collection item? area_attribute_result_object if so, that’s not how you’d do it.
They are read only afaik. You’d need to make an update call to your backend.
Go to custom javascript and do this
[area_attribute_result_obj.data][item.parent.parent.index].bars[item.parent.index].ratings[item.index].result = true
or if you have it within the context, you can directly target the result, you might see it there
[result] = true
if you want to do it via path, you gotta do it like a string I think. Now you are changing
[area_attribute_result_obj]false
Thanks Broberto,
Super helpful … using Custom Javascript worked. Using the context item made it super simple too.
context.item.data.result = true
Big thanks
