GetSummary cant break by related field?

[Razumovsky]

Hi all,

This just came up in another thread, but as it appears to be an undocumented feature, it probably deserves its own.

Apparently,

GetSummary(sFieldX; OtherTO::FieldY) does not yield a result. It seems the GetSummary function will not accept related fields as a breakfield.

Any thoughts on why this behaves differently than regular summary fields, which can be broken by related fields in subsummary parts?

Have you tried to change the context of updating in the fields def. I'm fully aware that it used to be so earlier on, mentioned in this:

But with todays TO aspects might there be other ways of accomplishing it live without the use of summary fields at all.

Let me get challengend on this one??

Had the same problem.

Solution:

(1) Create a calc field in current table FieldY = OtherTO::FieldY

(2) Change field to GetSummary(sFieldX;FieldY)

(3) Change sort field from OtherTO::FieldY to FieldY
