Hi, we discussed this already in a recent thread but since it's a little bit buried I would like to put it in plain sight and get a confirmation no one is against it.
In feature restrictions we have filters that have to check the validity of an attribute value. This filter is expressed against the AttributeType, a place where the actual attribute name is not known. Currently those filters are using the attribute name anyways, in the assumption that the attribute type and the attribute descriptor have the same name (assumption that cannot be made). A better solution is to have those filters use an expression that evaluates to the feature/value being passed, Jody has suggested "." and I agree. The old current restriction filters, based on the wrong assumption cited above, look like: len(myAttName) < 3 If we make the proposed change we end up with: len(.) < 3 Anyone against this?
