With the advent of Perspective, array and object property types are used extensively, however there’s no way to really use these in the expression language e.g. to lookup a value within an array or an object and return the found value.
Can new expression functions be added, or can existing ones be modified to allow this? (e.g. lookup
)

indexOf
and ‘slicing’ syntax should work. It’s not as elegant as lookup
, but there was some reason I didn’t add support for lookup
when I implemented this for other expression functions I no longer remember.
Hmm, I tried some things and I'm not sure how to use slicing here? the expression language doesn't seem to see the array as an array, even something like a[0]
or a[0,0]
doesn't work where a
is an array
That’s exactly what I tried I think it was in 8.1.5 though. Was that added more recently? Regardless though, I don’t think that helps to find an item in the array, or does it?
Sigh it’s happening in 2 3? weeks. I won’t know what to do without myself once it’s done
