In 2017 Update 1 I'm not able to pull from a list basing on itemtype:
What's the right way to do it?
Did you try 'item.type(puller)' for the first option and 'puller.attrs.item.type' for the second option?
I tried them now, they don't work.
Seems that the itemtype is getting deprecated in FlexSim and labels have to be used instead of it. But I have old models that don't work anymore in the new version without changing every itemtype to a label.
itemtype was deprecated, but old models should continue to work fine using the old itemtype stuff. Only new models or new objects added to old models should be affected by the change. This looks like a bug to me.
I forgot: WHERE type = puller.as(Object).attrs.itemtype.value doesn't work too.
This is a bug. Your model was built before 17.1 and so your items correctly have a value on their itemtype node that is correctly returned if you open a script console and execute getitemtype(so). The SQL parser is not recognizing the getitemtype command correctly, though and so your query isn't working. We'll look into that.
As Cameron mentioned, new models no longer use itemtype and instead use a Type label. To get the same query working you would have to do:
WHERE type = puller.Type
You should still be able to use all the same pickoptions and list fields since we've updated all the code behind those to reference the Type label.
For future models and training though, you'll have to avoid using the itemtype commands and reference Type labels or just use the pickoptions that already do that.
Have you tried:
WHERE type = puller.Type
The change log for 17.1.0 has the following line:
Changed itemtype references to referencing an item's Type label instead.
Thanks, that's what I've intended. I'll have to change a lot of exercises in my training courses cause itemtype was wildly used.
