Multiple nested select in template

Hi there

I’ve been struggling, looking deeply in articles and post…cannot get out of this (I suspect I need to take a step back )

I want to nest multiple select expression, I cannot get something that make sense in the output.
Here is the expression:

<<Start: SELECT(Employes[Barcode Employe],ISNOTBLANK([Related Fiche_Heures By Related_author][numSemaine]))>>
   [Nom Employe]:<<[Nom Employe]>>
   <<Start:[Related Fiche_Heures By Related_author]>>
      [numSemaine]:<<[numSemaine]>>, [Label_FH]:<<[Label_FH]>>
   <<End>>
<<End>>

I’m OK with the first Start Statement.
In my examples, I’m supposed to get multiple output with the nested statement:

   <<Start:[Related Fiche_Heures By Related_author]>>
       [numSemaine]:<<[numSemaine]>>, [Label_FH]:<<[Label_FH]>>
   <<End>>

As I can see it in the app, I get this:
3X_b_4_b4937df02e5442f20b732becd7d711a98b51e44d.png
But in the output, I get this: (same employee shown here)
3X_6_d_6d8557bb017b5e021cfa853dab87935d820bd4bb.png
If I’m correct, I should see multiple lines with:
numSemaine:14,
numSemaine:15,
numSemaine:16

Do you have a clue on what I’m getting wrong ?

Hi @Steve @AlexM,

So, after investigation and contact with @Oleg_Andrusenko from Support, here is the solution:

  1. This is not because I use to see information on top of the View Data panel, that there is no data at all when I don’t see it.
    Because of various related children for my entries, I had to scroll dooooooown in order to find the first entry. I could have seen it if I had scrolled on the right end, but because it was after many hours of unsuccessful tries with the nested Start/Select issue, I got tired and forgot the basics Beginner’s mistake !
    The tip: look at the size of the scrollbar: tiny, tiny, tiny !


    I don’t know if this features already exists, but it could be interesting to displays an alert “no result to show” or something similar. I will look if a feature request have been made about that.

  2. With the “Test” feature :
    Because I wanted to save time on testing, I did not develop the workflow entirely, just firing it with the test button after refreshing, in order to test if my template was correct.
    A try/fail method.


    The “Execute” button in the Test panel fails to correctly develop nested Start/Select.
    That’s a bug, that won’t be fixed if I’m correct.
    BUT when I try to fire it on “normal behavior”, which means trigger it from a change on my table, the workflow produces the expected result ! 3X_0_5_0513e84dbad14e1fb20d3661280a326c886be358.gif
    Thanks @Oleg_Andrusenko for suggesting that basic try !

By the way: do someone know another method to test Template structure ?
Once again, thank you all for your help on it !
