Display attributes of an asset to another asset page ?

Hi,

In my metamodel I have relation between several assets (different asset types), let say:
A <-> B <-> C

Is it possible on the asset page of asset C to display one attribute from the asset A ?

The asset A will be frequently updated, and so I would not want to manage manually (or with a workflow) a duplicate attribute in C.

Bonus: the relation between A and B is optional, and so in C the displayed value must be empty.

Regards,

Alex

On top of the above solution I’d suggest looking into the Asset Grid.

The Asset Grid was released to address the problem you’re referring to i.e presenting metadata multiple hops downstream/upstream.

Not quite the same as having it available on the asset page but hopefully the suggestion helps

A possible workflow option.
Just a quick thought, not sure its best practice thou(Duplicating Data) and I note that you don’t want a workflow option., so will keep it short. What if you setup a dummy field on asset C assignments that would be populated with the value from the attribute in Asset A via workflow that would be enabled to work on the correct asset (Asset A) and only when there has been a change to an attribute for asset A. The workflow logic would ensure that the correct attribute value from Asset A is copied and should appear in the dummy attribute of Asset C when accessed.
