binding list to another list

Webix JS
1

Hi,

I’m new here, and struggling somewhat.

I’m probably missing something obvious, but the data templating seems lacking in a few crucial areas:

1 - why can’t I specify a property of a child property in a data template? JSON structures are rarely completely flat in the real world - http://webix.com/snippet/cc791eed

2 - similar to 1, how can I link one list to another? - http://webix.com/snippet/871d65b0

Cheers

It is not so critical for other components, where templates can be configured to access sub-properties. But in case of property sheet and form it really can be helpful.

We will try to include this feature in the next update.

$$("list2").bind($$("list1"), "$data", "subItems");

Thanks for the response - much appreciated.

Regarding (1) - understood, thanks.

Regarding (2) - excellent - that makes sense. However I couldn’t find any mention of this feature in the docs. I can see now that it is described in http://docs.webix.com/desktop__binding_details.html, but under a section relating to treestore. Maybe it should be made more obvious.

Thanks again.
