Does the workflow field template support two levels?

[Guido1982]

We can do something like

Code:

$(fieldname : (Module) referencefield)

right now, but can we also do

Code:

$($fieldname : (Module) fieldname) : (Module) referencefield)

To get to two levels? And if not, could we create that?

there is no second level support anywhere in the application

that seems hard to do, there are a lot of places that would need this to be taken into consideration, I think the impact would be big and we have 2/3 open project with similar big impact right now. I am almost positive that if you tried to implement that right now you would have to spend a lot of effort updating it when those 2/3 projects land

I would recommend the typical solution: add a uitype 10 to the related module you need

That doesn't really help, since I want to send an e-mail from a comment that is related to a ticket. In that e-mail I want to name the accountname and shipping city for the account that is related to the ticket. Accounts is already related to HelpDesk but I can't access the accountname, alone the shipping city. I would have to setup UI1 fields that update on every ticket save. Seems a bit redundant to me.

Lets keep on our toes to see if we can do such a thing when the projects you mentioned land. In the end it's just recursiveness.
