Nodes reference between workspace

[alarcher <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

In JR, you can add a property typed "Reference" which points to a node (in
fact the property value is the referenced node uuid).
I wonder if it is possible to make a property link to a node which is in
another workspace.

I read about the clone functionnality in JR which allows to create
"corresponding nodes" between different workspaces, but this is not really
what I would like (because in this case you have no "reference" property).

Is there a way for doing this ?

Thanks a lot,
Antoine Larcher

Thanks alex for your answer.
Yep, I was thinking about this kind of alternative solution :)

Thanks again.

No you cannot link between different workspaces. The clone feature you
mention is actually preventing this on a technical level, since the
references are expressed through uuids, which are the same for
corresponding nodes in different workspaces. Hence uuids are only
unique inside one workspace.

As an alternative, you could use a string property containing the
workspace name and the path of the node and handle the node resolving
in you application code.

Alex
