Using <!-- {{#each itemList}} -->

[ashballan]

I have an entity called "Item" and another called "Event" with relationship one-to-many (Event->Items).

I'm creating a PDF template and using the "<!-- {{#each itemList}} -->" code as described in the docs, here is the snippet:
<!-- {{#each itemsNames}} -->
<tr>
<td><p>{{name}}</p></td>
</tr>
<!-- {{/each}} -->

But all I get is a "?" in the PDF. The placeholder {{itemsNames}} is a valid one in the list. What am I doing wrong!?

Hi,
for now you can use itemsIds field only. itemsNames is an object, this field type is not supported in template parsing

Thank you.. so how do I get the name of the item now? I used {{name}} but nothing was displayed:
<!-- {{#each itemsIds}} -->
{{name}}<br>
<!-- {{/each}} -->

<!-- {{#each itemsIds}} -->
{{this}}<br>
<!-- {{/each}} -->

itemsIds field contains only list of related ids. Maybe it will be added in the next version (can't promise).
But 100% way is develop manually additional not storable varchar field, which will contain concatenated related items name

tanya thanks for your support, I appreciate it. I solved it in a more "manual" way to avoid complications.
