Hi All

I'm in an operation action (see attachment). Had some trouble accessing the views variable, so for testing purposes I pop up a dialog box to see the value of the variable:

a) "aql:'' + views.name" shows the views variable name as expected: "Company" (when applied to the node "Company")
however
b) "aql:views.name" shows empty string
c) "aql:views.name.toString()" shows empty string
moreover
d) "aql:if views.name='Company' then 'fine' else 'fail' endif" shows fail
e) "aql:if ('' + views.name)='Company' then 'fine' else 'fail' endif" shows fine
although
f) setting the context to views and "aql:self.name" shows "Company"

Seems there is sth. wrong with the views variable in general?

So long
make

PS
this is part of a larger problem, of accessing the views variable at all
