AJ, for what its worth, I was always a big fan of the extended array concept, however, every time I have used them I have regretted it. I have always gone back and replaced it with an intermediary custom type. So you create a new custom type that holds all the extended info & a pointer to the actual record you are linking to. Not sure I explained that well, but hopefully you get what I mean.
Extended arrays are great in theory, but I find there are just too many bugs that crop up because they are just not used often enough and don't get the same attention as regular types/rules. The maintenance issues of having to write a customized edit UI for that portion also contributes to my past frustrations. Just my two cents. With regards to the error... I think the problem is that the extended array struct reports the wrong typename. So the "typename" is the type of the object being pointed to by the "data" property. Think of a regular array... there are 4 primary fields, data, parentid, seq, and typename. Typename is the type of the object for the "data" field. So extended arrays carry this over. However, in your case the actual typename for the extend array object is myParentType_aWhateverProperty so rather than pass the struct as is as Blair suggests, you either have to use getData() on the extended array type using the objectid property of the struct to retrieve the "real" struct OR, pass the objectid AND a typename attribute to the ft:object tag. See what I was saying about extended arrays being buggy/weird?? :) On Friday, March 14, 2014 1:40:15 AM UTC-4, AJ Mercer wrote: > > Message: Element name is undefined in a CFML structure referenced as part > of an expression. > > > - \farcry\core\tags\formtools\object.cfm (line: 328) > - \farcry\core\tags\formtools\object.cfm (line: 309) > - \farcry\core\tags\formtools\object.cfm (line: 42) > - \farcry\core\tags\formtools\object.cfm (line: 1) > - *\farcry\plugins\pslClient\packages\types\AflGame.cfc (line: 53)* > > > > On 14 March 2014 13:35, Blair McKenzie <[email protected] <javascript:>>wrote: > >> Looks right to me.
