Filtering Portals using Portal Object Name Attribute

Is this possible perhaps using the GetLayoutObjectAttribute function?

ie Table Occurance Relationship (squid)

Business => PortalFilter => ProjectsDate

Layout based on Business has portal named 01 for example.

PortalFilter Table has field which uses GetLayoutObject calc to find out which portal it is in (this is the hard (impossible?) bit...) and then adds it to date.

So field = portal number + TodaysDate.

Relationship to Projects is based on above calc field.

So I can use this single relationship to display different records from same table occurance based on the portal object name...

If I could get a portal record to identify which portal it is in (and there are multiple portals on the layout) I think it might work.

Anyone understand this and had a go at this strategy?

I'm trying to avoid having lots of TOCs and/or match fields for each filtered portal.

Hope this is clear.

Thanks

Malc
