Descendants Collection and Any Method for Node Object in Expressions

A Descendants collection is available for the Node object in an expression to define business logic based on the descendants of a node in a hierarchy viewpoint.  A single Any method is offered for the Descendants collection to evaluate whether any descendants meet a particular condition.  This collection and method can be used in any expression context including derived properties, property transformations, custom validations, policy filters, subscription filters, and extract filters.

Business Benefit: Application owners and metadata managers can incorporate business logic based on the descendants of a node in a hierarchy into derived properties, custom validations, and other features that use expressions.
