Suggest feature only if another feature exists [message #934153]

Hi folks,

I have a particular situation, where I'd like to suggest/add to autocomplete/successfully validate/ a particular dependent feature only if another feature already exists. For example:

Grammer:

Model:
    ('datatype' ':' datatype = DataType)? &
    ('maxValue' ':' maxValue = INT)? &
    ('minValue' ':' minValue = INT)? &
    ('stringLength' ':' stringLength = INT)? &
    ('binary' ':' binary = Bool)? &
;
enum DataType:
    INT = 'Integer' | STRING = 'String'
;
enum Bool:
    TRUE = '1' | FALSE = '0'
;

So,
1. I'd like to let user use random order for all this features (therefore &)
2. Until no datatype added, suggest/autocomplete only binary feature.
3. If

datatype: String

suggest/autocomplete only stringLength feature, if

datatype: Integer

suggest/autocomplete only minValue and maxValue features.

Any help appreciated!

I had some trouble in the past using & - maybe my fault, but I am not using it anymore. I would introduce an enum covering all your features min, max, etc, then introduce a list of subnodes in your model (KeyEnum, Value) - one for each feature and then I'd implement the behaviour you've described using the completion assistant and checks.
Opinions?
