Relation Gurus...
In 4.0 is it possible to change items using relations when using column rep bom? I am pretty sure it was not possible in the past. I want to change a simple parameter in the repeat region that is cage_code. I am reusing someone else's model and I do not want to change their file. Their cage_code reads ---. I want to change mine to 96906. If it can be done, like I said, using multiple columns for assemblies, how do I write the relation? The bom column = as.mbr.cage_code. I can't seem to get it to work. I know I originally tried some time ago to change qty to AR...and that would not work. Was thinking maybe in 4?
Thanks,

It works if formatted properly in all versions and has for many years.
If asm.mbr.<whatever your partnumber column is named> == <Part Number that you want to change Cage_code on>
CageCode = 96906
else
CageCode = asm.mbr.cage_code
endif
You must use CageCode for the parameter in the Cage Code column instead of asm.mbr.cage_code.
You cannot change a system parameter. You must create your own and use it.
This is the code we use to change a bulk item to qty AR
if asm.mbr.type == 'BULKITEM"
QTY = A/R
else
QTY = rpt.qty
endif
In the repeat region column for QTY, we use the parameter QTY instead of rpt,qty. This allows the value to be over ridden.
