Referencing Object Categories for Assets
Hello!
I've been spending an absurd amount of time on troubleshooting this. I have a parent category called Networking with sub categories Switches, Access Points, Firewalls, etc. When I create an object, I want to be able to have a drop down that shows all devices within **Networking** but when I assign the object type to that category, it says "No objects found".
When I hit the Networking tab on the left hand side, it displays all of the assets i've created. I want to be able to use this full list of objects in a dropdown, but im having no luck.
The reason for this is because I have some access points going into switches and some going into a UTM.. all which I would like to document. I dont want to have to make multiple parent device attributes for each sub category (switches, access points, etc.)

Hi @Teran Hembry ,
Welcome to the community!
If I understand correctly, you want to find all objects in Networking... or any of the object types under it?
1. You can use a simple AQL query in custom field contexts or regular AQL:
ObjectType in objectTypeAndChildren("Networking / Physical Security")
2. If you want to create an Object attribute with the full list (as is your case), you will need to use the Networking.. ObjectType as a reference, and then check this checkbox:
Hope this helps!
