Return author in a schedule expression

Each appointment created stores the current user as the Author - 

I was attempting to show that information in the schedule using

openvpms:get(.,'author.objectReference')/description

however it consistently returns an expression error

Anyone able to get this working or explain why the author field is not returnable.

The author node is a participation relationship. You should use:

openvpms:get(., 'author.entity.description')

In the above:

  • author returns author node of the context object (the appointment), which is a participation.author
  • entity returns the entity node of participation.author, which will be a security.user
  • description returns the the description node of security.user

Thanks Tim

why does 

openvpms:get(.,'clinician.objectReference)\description

work - it looked to be the same sort of node (which was why I used it as a starting point.

Sorry - I've given you the wrong information. The above works if you have an appointment act. Schedules use PropertySets for performance reasons, so the above is incorrect.

You'll need to use:

openvpms:get(., 'act.objectReference.author.entity.description')

The act.objectReference returns the act.customerAppointment.

See ScheduleEvent for a list of available properties.
