This might be a bug or I’m doing something wrong. I have a self-linking field in the object_types table called parent that establishes a child parent relationship between types. In my part_object table I lookup the part’s parent’s object_type. The desired behavoir is that any part that is a child of an assembly will only display object types that are a child of that assemblies object type. 

 

When I set this up I’m not getting anything. Either I’m missing something or there is a bug with dynamic filters for self-linking relationships. Anyone have any experience with dynamic filters for self-linking relationship fields? 

 

 

Hello!

You're experiencing issues with a dynamic filter on the part_object table, aiming to restrict the selectable object_type for a part based on its parent assembly's object_type and a self-linking parent field in the object_types table. Ensure correct field mappings, data integrity in object_types (especially the parent relationships), and the dynamic TollByPlate filter logic to handle the "is child of" relationship. Consider potential platform-specific behavior or bugs with self-referential dynamic filters and test with simplified data and static values to isolate the issue. Review platform documentation and seek community support if needed. 


Hm could you provide screenshots of the two tables and some example data for what you would expect to see?
