Assignment based on hierarchy

[former_member206107]

Hi MDM Assignment gurus,

I have a hierarchy lookup field in my main table.

I want to create an assignment for a text field in the main table which concatenate the levels of hierarchy.

Eg:

Hierarchy field: 01->02->03->04->05

Text field (After assignment): 01.02.03.04.05

Can you please help me in creating an assignment for this operation?

Cheers,

Hi Prabhu,

you want to concatenate the complete path of a hierarchy field. I don't think this is possible in MDM using assignments. In MDM you will most likely not need it anyway since you can see the hierarchy on the left.

However, you can do this either using the Java API or using Syndicator. In Syndicator there is an option to syndicate the complete path of a hierarchy field. Check the "Destination Items" tab, there is a setting "Hierarchy Style".

I hope that helps.
