Hey community, can I get some assistance building a composite SmartObject?

 

I've been using these instructions to try building a composite SmartObject

http://community.rightpoint.com/blogs/viewpoint/archive/2012/09/14/build-a-composite-smartobject-in-15-minutes-or-less.aspx

 

Which according to K2 documentation requires List methods to work correctly: http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.6.4/webframe.html#reference_-_smartobject_method_wizard_-_service_method_links.html

 

The problem is that one of my properties return the fully qualified name of users, so LABEL:DOMAIN/USERNAME.  I want to add a ServiceObject Method to get the user-friendly display name of that user.  But the only SO I have found that seems to use the FQN and return a user-friendly name is URM Service's User ServiceObject.  I was looking at the "Get User Details" method, which is a Read method, not a List method.  So I cannot join them in this way.  Right now I'm playing around with URM's Service User Object still, specifically looking at the Get Users method.  So far I haven't gotten it working.

 

Does anyone have some suggestion that I'm not considering?

Hi Victoria

 

I went down a similar path some time ago and found that I wasnt able to correctly join on the FQN of the URM User smartobject for some reason. Instead it was doing a cross join and returning hundreds of thousand of records.

That's unfortunate...  Does anyone else have any ideas?  Or is this yet another "selling feature" for SmartForms that turned out to be a bit of a lie? ;)
