Hi Kent, you dummy. You wrote:

What about a parent document which lists child documents? I need to be able to query the list of child objects which are referenced in the parent document and find the latest date. And I'd like to be able to extend that behavior to things like like sql query results so they can contribute their 'modification date'. And no, I don't want to discuss issues about walking the tree right now. :^)
In the past, I have tried to examine subobjects in this manner in order to produce an examination result and have met with varying degrees of success. For example, I was trying to examine the objectValues of a series of Conferas:
<!--#in "objectValues('Confera Topic')" skip_unauthorized=1 sort=bobobase_modification_time --> <!--#in "_['sequence-item'].objectValues()" --> <!--#var uniqueId--> : <!--#var id--> : <!--#var meta_type--><BR> <!--#/in objectValues--> <!--#/in objectValues-->
Ummm. I forgot where I was going... Got stuck in the exit lane and am now suffering from vapor lock, stuck here in the traffic... What I was thinking about was implementing it like one of those computed attribute thingies in Tabula <!--#var latest_bobobase_modification_time--> which I could do in an external method, as I discussed before... How would that fit in with your suggestion? (sitting here, playing with the clutch and flipping the turn signal switch) Kent
