I’m having a issue with an action form. I am configuring an action type in Ontology Manager to allow users to create a shipment and link it to another object type called Project via a dropdown. Both object types have already been created and populated as well as their link type via a many-to-many join table (so not a direct property like a foreign key).
I set up a “Create object” rule for Shipment and then a “Create link” rule following that for the Shipment-to-Project link. But the issue is that in the “Create link” rule configuration, there is no UI option to reference the Shipment object just created in the “Create object” rule as the source for the link. The UI only allows me to select parameters exposed to the form, not the output of the previous rule. As a result, I cannot configure the action to create and link the Shipment in a single form submission without requiring the user to select a Shipment (which does not exist yet).
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to specify in the parameters that the specific shipment object should be the newly created one?
The annoying thing is that the docs specifically refer to this situation (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/action-types/rules#creating-an-object–many-to-many-link) but just don’t give actual detail to how it’s done.
