Edit Input rules - Completing the Create, Save As, or Specialization form
Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You can copy data instances but they do not support specialization because they are not versioned.
Create an edit input rule by selecting Edit Input from the Data
Model category.
Key parts
An edit input rule has a single key part, the name:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Identifier | Enter a name that's a valid Java identifier. Begin with a letter and use only letters, numbers, and hyphens. See How to enter a Java identifier. |
Rule resolution
When searching for edit input rules, the system:
- Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
- Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules
- Finds time-qualified rules that override base rules
The class hierarchy is not relevant to rule resolution of edit input rules.
