form api with replicants

mk_iw

Environment : TS 5.5.2 and W2K

I'm wondering how to address the replicant in the formapi. In the below snippet, if the "/LeftNavSecondLevelMenu/sublevel" is yes, the "LeftNavThirdLevelMenu" item should become visible.

As "LeftNavSecondLevelMenu" has replicant, I'm not sure how to address the "sublevel" in each iteration. Any help is appreciated.

---------------------DCT code snippet --------------------
<item name="LeftNavSecondLevelMenu">
<label>Second level Menu </label>
<database deploy-column="f" />
<replicant max="30" min="0">
<item name="title">
<label>Title</label>
<text size="35" maxlength="100" required="t">
</text>
</item>
<item name="sublevel">
<label>Third level menu exist ?</label>
<radio required="t">
<option value="yes" label="Yes"/>
<option value="no" selected="t" label="No"/>
</radio>
</item>

<item name="LeftNavThirdLevelMenu">
<label>Third level Menu </label>
<database deploy-column="f" />
<replicant max="30" min="0">
<item name="title">
<label>Title</label>
<text size="35" maxlength="100" required="t">
</text>
</item>
</replicant>
</item>
</replicant>
------------------------end ---------------------------------------------

thanks

Are you going to be upgrading soon? To 6.5?
If so - see if you can put off this project until *after* that because 6.5's FormAPI makes dealing with replicants MUCH EASIER
(remember - 5.5.2 becomes unsupported at the end of June this year)
