Asset object attribute missing/not referenced

[Ryan Bullock]

I am importing compute objects from Data Manager into a schema in Assets. One of the object types in the schema tree if the full os version which is an attribute of the host systems. I'm having an issue where this attribute is left blank on all the hosts. The Foll OS Version object has child mappings and I have checked the include children on the attribute options.

Why is this attribute not getting filled in/referenced in the hosts? Am I missing something, I could have sworn I had this correctly previously by checking the include children on the attribute settings.

So there were two issues here, one was a bug that was fixed where child objects weren't showing references to linked objects. The other issue was I needed to expand the AQL in mapping to the below in order to support child objects in the attribute:

objectType in objectTypeAndChildren("Full OS Version") and Label = ${FullOSVersion}

where I previously just had

Label = ${FullOSVersion}
