Display object values from a different Module

Hello,

I want to display the object values from a different Module in a dxl column:

Column c, col
for c in ExistingModule do {
    string s = title c ;
        col = column countColumns();
        dxl(col, "display identifier obj")
        title(col, s);
        width(col, 200);
}

 


This creates new dxl columns, and display the object values from my current module,
not from the other one('ExistingModule').
I already tried to enlarge the dxl code in the dxl column, but it doesent work.
Is there any way to get the values from the other Module and display them in my dxl column?

I'm thankful for every hint.

Your DXL seems to want to insert a column via DXL. Lets forget about that, lets insert the column manually ..err.. or in this case via the GUI. You can insert a traceability column with the Wizard in the Insert menu of the module in which you want the column. It will ask about the link module of interest, but more importantly will ask which attribute values of the other module you want displayed in this module's column.

Notice you do not ask about values in some column of the other module.

Once you insert your analysis column layout, you should adjust its width and save it it a view. If you ever want to query that value from some other DXL, then instead of saving the layout you should convert it to an AttrDXL, and then display that attr in some view and save it.
