Merging Layout DXL column data?

Hi Guys,

I couldn't find anything in the archives..so posted new:

I have an object. It has 2 out links. Each link links to a different module. The objects of both target modules have the same attribute that I am interested in displaying in the source module.

I want to display this in a layout DXL column using the analysis wizard function. But I can only select 1 formal module (i.e. 1 column for both). If I select "all modules" in wizard step 1 then the attribute is unavailable in list.

So, is there any way to 'merge' 2 columns data or someother way of achieving this (getting the layout DXL for 2 modules in 1 column)??

Thanks in advance.

Modify the Layout DXL created for "All modules" in: select column properties, browse the Layout DXl and select Current. You shall see DXL code where at the end the code displays those attributes selected in Wizard e.g.

s = probeRichAttr_(othero,"Object Heading", false)

Just replace the attribute name you want to display between the quote marks.
