Linking a readable name to code/externalId in business rules
J
Jeroen Smit
It would be beneficial if this same mechanism could be extended to other attributes, preferably in an optional and configurable way. When configurable by administrators, this functionality could also be applied to custom fields that are created manually.
A concrete example is the Type attribute, where Type.description could be linked to Type.code. This would keep business rules clear and readable by showing what is being filtered on, while still ensuring that filtering is technically performed on the correct code. Without such a linkage, only the code or externalId is visible in the business rule, which reduces both readability and maintainability.
This enhancement would significantly improve the usability of creating, reviewing, and maintaining business rules.

Hello Jeroen Smit! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific attributes, besides Type, would you like to see linked in this way?
- How frequently do you anticipate using this feature for custom fields?
- Are there any specific challenges you face with the current system that this feature would address?
