[Grok-dev] Values from another document before rendering

[Kathy Manwaring]

Souheil,

There may be a number of 'site' entries:
app['details'][site_Id]
It determines which of the branches controls the values returned.

Is it possible?

Kathy

P.S. Sorry - bed time on Fri night. I will look at this tomorrow - hoping
someone can help me. :-)
