Re: What are the guidelines for using FVAs vs. Computed Fields?

Hi.

 

Thank you for you reply.

 

We are attempting to pull in fields from the segment item when in the context of a node item. Our original implementation utilized an FVA based on the "Contained By" relationship. Which works great for items that are contained directly by the segement. If there is a hierarchy however, this apporach no longer works. The proposed solution from the experts was for us to use a computed field with the getFieldValue(DocumentID(),"field we care about"); function instead of using an FVA.

 

So... "Going back to an FVA" is an option of sorts. Doing so puts back at our previous problem: How do we get fields contained in a segement when we're in a node item?

 

If we go back to an FVA, how do we get access to the segment fields from the node item?
