New Array Function

Avatar

Level 2

Just curious if anybody has started using the new Array function.  If so how are you using it? I'm not quite sure how the function works as I've tested a few things but the field didnt' generate anything.   Is this functionality mainly for Fusion customers?

if you're able to share your code, we can help troubleshoot. That said, I have submitted a bug because while it works in the calculation editor, my array calculation errors out on the actual form.

 

I heard a rumor at Summit that right now that the functionality is cosmetic and was unlocked in order to make a space for future functionality. So even getting a result, I wouldn't expect to be able to do much of anything with that result for a while.

Hi @JustinRenteria2,

 

Nice timing: those new features came up in yesterday's release notes call with @CynthiaBoon which I'd hoped might allow me to return (only) the first entry in an Iteration (e.g. among a Project's Tasks) for another Echo skunkworks I am noodling over...but alas, no dice: doesn't seem to be compatible.

 

That said, I did also just note this post in which @SuryaLakhani used it to compute a time estimate from a multi select checkbox question that @AWoody raised, which is a useful and elegant example.

 

Regards,

Doug
