The JSON schema has the following structure:
JSON Schema in table above:
var text = {"PLMDefiningAttribute": {"mandatory": false,
"readonly": false,
"conditionalMandatory": true,
"flexAttribute" : true,
"rules": [
{"attribute": "attributeID",
"values": [
{"context": "Context1",
"value": "Y"
}
]
}
]
};
return JSON.stringify(text);
Any number of rules can be defined for an attribute. The rules will be evaluated from the top down, and stop evaluating when a rule is evaluated to true, displaying the conditional attribute in the MRE dialog.
If any of the attributes for a rule have not been added as a PLM Attribute Value child component to the PLM Edit Reference Action, the rule will be ignored and skipped, and a warning will be logged to the system log file.
Example 1: Condition Rules – Business Function
In this example, the 'Additional Comments' attribute is shown in the 'Answer Requirement' dialog when the dependent attribute 'Meets Requirements?' has a value equal to No.
The 'Additional Comments' attribute has been configured as a Conditional Mandatory attribute.
Business function in table above:
var text = {"PLMDefiningAttribute": {"mandatory": false,
"readonly": false,
"conditionalMandatory": true,
"flexAttribute" : true,
"rules": [
{"attribute": "PLMMeetsRequirement",
"values": [
{"context": "Context1",
"value": "Y"
}
]
}
]
},
"PLMAdditionalSupplierComments": {"mandatory": false,
"readonly": false,
"conditionalMandatory": false,
"rules": [
{"attribute": "PLMMeetsRequirement",

"PLMHelpText": {"mandatory": false,
"readonly": true,
"conditionalMandatory": false
}
};
return JSON.stringify(text);

Example 3: Condition Rules – Business Function
In this example, the 'Additional Comments' attribute is shown always in the Answer Requirement dialog when the dependent attribute 'Meets Requirements?' has a value equal to No.
The 'Additional Comments' attribute become a Mandatory attribute, and the Save button will not be enabled until 'Additional Comments' field is populated.
Note: Only attributes that are valid on the Requirement reference and/or Parameter reference should be configured in the component list. If they are not valid, they will not be displayed and will not have any values.
