How can I dig into the object structure of variables in a Structure formula?
Hey Structure gurus!
I've been getting a lot of value out of highly customized Structure Board columns using Structure formulas, however debugging and troubleshooting the syntax is a bear and I'm wondering if I'm not aware of tools that could be helping me.
For instance:
My current use case is to create a column that shows a list of the teams that a particular story has had dependent work from throughout the story's history, that needed to be completed before the story could be worked. So my pseudo code logic would look something like this:
Get an array of the history changes, filtered to only include story links.
Filter that list further to only include "Blocked By" link type.
For each array item, output that array item's destination's "primary team" (in a nicely formatted list)
Seems easy enough, could do it in my sleep in Java or C# or something like that, but here I am trying to dig into the list of history changes and struggling to mine down into those changes to the story link objects, and the story objects below that, and the fields of those story objects below that:
I know you can hover over a value in debug mode and get a GLIMPSE of the value of a variable at runtime, but is there a way to dig into that value to its object's structure and sub-structure?
Alternatively, is there object class hierarchy documentation somewhere that I could refer to, to know what sub-components I can call ( example: issueLinks.FILTER($.type = "Blocks" AND $.destination = this AND !$.source.resolution).source ).
Any resources to teach this starving man how to fish would be greatly appreciated.
