Get initial value of an another section of a library to do a condition

Hi,
I have a form with templates and another one that is where I have the
templates.
In the form where I have the templates I need to calculate the initial value
of a field depending on the value of a field in another section.

The data of the field of the section that I need to know its value is loaded
dynamically, it is not a fixed data. Then depending on that field I have two
radio buttons and the value changes. But the condition I have created
doesn´t work once I deploy the form in Liferay, but if I give it a static
value from the template it gets the value correctly...

This is the formula that I have in the field of the radio buttons to
calculate de value depending on the other field:
*if (xxf:instance('fr-form-instance')/section-0/actuo='R' ) then 'repre'
else if (xxf:instance('fr-form-instance')/section-0/actuo ='P') then
'propio' else .*

Could it be because the section belongs to a template? Or if it can be done
in some other way?

Thank you,
Iñigo

Hi Iñigo,

Are you saying that a field outside of the section template needs to access
a value inside the section template, or is it the other way around?

- If the former, you can do it by referring to the node using a path
expression, like `/form/section-1/control-1`, instead of a variable
($control-1).
- If the latter, there currently isn't a way to access the value of a field
outside of the section template from inside the section template.

Does this answer your question, or were you looking for something different?

Hi Alessandro,

We've solve it by assigning a value to the field from a rest service.

What we wanted to do was to access the field value of a section template
from within another section template. For a future, it's not possible to do
it no?

Thanks for your answer,
Iñigo

Hi Iñigo,

I'm glad you found a workaround, and no, it isn't currently possible to
access a field F1 in section template S1 from a formula for a field F2 in
section template S2. And I'm saying "currently" because we'd like to support
that case in the future. Namely, I think that implementing #2471 and #1922
linked from #3446 (see link below) would make the use case you have
possible. I've added a +1 from you on those 2 issues.
