Reason with Different Records of the Same Object Type in Web-Authored Rules

There is new rule syntax that allows you to refer to self and other records in the same list.

This enables you to compare and reason between members of the same record list, such as time periods, household members, tasks or product parts. It also provides ease of maintenance when changing cross-record comparison rules due to the ability to express powerful concepts in a simple way.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• The "self" keyword allows rule logic to reason about the specific record the rules are currently operating on.
• The record list alias syntax allows any record list function parameter to be given a contextual name.
