Entity Editor

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Dear all, I would like to have an entity editor and a data view - where I enter assignments between the members of two entities using the data entry function - on the same screen.
The entity members that are created in the entity editor should also appear on this data view.
However, the problem is that only the members that are currently selected in the entity editor are displayed in the data view.
How can this indirect selection behavior be avoided or prevented? I would like all existing entity members to be visible in the data view.

Many thanks in advance

Hi @OSchulz ,

the entity editor should be placed inside a container, a panel, for example. That avoids the indirect selection on the screen.

Best,

Hi Helmut,

thank you for your feedback.

I tried this, but I couldn't add an entity editor (or drop it) into a panel. When I try it says: "You cannot nest an ATO inside another one" - see screenshot.

Do you know why it doesn't work?

Best regards

Oliver

Hi @OSchulz ,

that's because the system automatically switched the screen to being ATO-enabled when you put in the entity editor in the first place (without the panel). So, you'll need to first switch off the screen's ATO in the screen properties

and then place the entity editor in the panel.

Best,
Helmut
