Adding (additional) attribute to Context node with given dictionary-struct

[former_member211591]

Hi all,

I've got a node (cardinality 0..n) of a given dictionary-structure (e.g. a db-table) with attributes of this structure.

I want to add further attributes to this node (which are not within this structure).

I can't use add attribute (right mouseclick on node) to the node, because I used the structure to add attributes.

Even so, is there a way to add attributes (which are not within the structure) to that node without changing the structure?

Thanks for your help,

HI,

I think is not possible. You need to remove the structure name from the properties.

I usually use the wizard for add some fields from a particular structure, and then I can add fields from others structures or from other places...

Hi,

Click on your node, under properties of node. Delete the structure name and press Enter. Now Right click on you node and create attribute as usual. Normally for reducing the effort for creating each and every attributes , we use 'Add attribute from structure' functionality. After that if you want to add extra attributes, remove the reference structure name and add the attributes.

hope this helps u.,

Thanks & regards,

Kiran.

So I infer from your answers that this is not possible.

Actually I don't wan to delete the structure from the nodes properties. Thus changes of the dictionary structure will affect my node automatically.

A functionality like "Append Structures" for context nodes would be great.

Thank you all for your answers.

Hi,

I don't think there would be a problem in deleting the structure name in properties of node.

The DICTIONARY STRUCTURE property of NODE is just used to add attributes from DDIC structure just to reduce

the effort and save time. So, you can delete the structure name and add extra Attributes to your node.

hi Ismail,

No this cannot be possible, as your node is binded to the structure so you cannot add any extra attribute in that node, better to recreate the node without binding it to the strucutr and then add the all the attribute you want.

Thanks
