Hi @AP_10483126 

OOTB no. 

You can write own function that do exactly what you need by the OIR

Another way I achieved this very thing is let the OIR autonumber but first step in workflow was to renumber it.

This way, the object exists and I can add in other special logic. This calls my own external method. I do exactly what you are describing as I am pulling an attribute value from the product context. I also had a special condition that I want the CR and CN to have the same identifier.

Create an alias attribute on CN type to get value from product 

 I have made PRD_NAME with mapping  containerReference^wt.inf.container.WTContainer~name : 

Use the attribute in OIR as below ; 

Result :

Hi @Fadel 

I was sure that the alias attribute is called if it is loading in the html page and could not be used that way..

I hope this can be used also for the IBA attributes. 

So this is very good think to know. 

Thanks.

@HelesicPetr To make it work with Prod IBA mapping needs to changed to containerReference^wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct~<ProdIba> 

and the change notice OIR constraint for number need to be set to pre-generated : 

On the CN create layout we will have the value otherwise with (assigned) we will get an error below

 Rule argument 2 is null, please make sure the argument passed is not null, then try again.
