is there a way to call

getObjectDetails

or something equivalent in an

onDrill

? i need to return more than just labels and values without exposing that extra data in the chart… TIA

Hello @hunger regnuh! Could you please describe your use-case in a bit more detail, maybe post some code snippet? I assume you mean onDrill as described here? The callback function receives a JSON object with

executionContext

and

drillContext

. These should contain all the information about the drill event you would need. In this callback feel free to grab anything useful and call as many other API endpoints as you wish… What exactly are you trying to achieve?

yep, that’s what i’m using,

drillableItems: [
        HeaderPredicates.objMatch(this.goodData?.catalog?.ProjectName),
        HeaderPredicates.objMatch(this.catalog.YTDEarnedValue),
        HeaderPredicates.objMatch(this.catalog.YTDExpectedCost),
      ],
      onDrill: (event: IDrillEvent) => {
        const projectName =
          !!event?.drillContext?.points && !!event?.drillContext?.points[1]
            ? event?.drillContext?.points[1]?.intersection[1]?.header['attributeHeaderItem']?.uri
            : event?.drillContext?.intersection[1]?.header['attributeHeaderItem']?.uri;
        this.onProjectDrill.emit(projectName);
        return false;
      },

what i also need though is the ID of the project (or any other entity that was clicked on) and i don’t want to expose the ID to the user

Hm, I see 🤔 Only measures/attributes used in the chart are returned as the drill functionality cannot possibly know what else you'd like returned. Could this be resolved by adding another label? Let's assume that there's an attribute

project

and it has label

projectTitle

that gets exposed to the user in the chart, and also label

projectId

that is NOT exposed in the chart. Could you look up the

projectId

based on the

projectTitle

inside the callback function? Another scenario, you could grab the original execution payload (measures/attributes), add your desired EXTRA attribute, and then execute again programatically and read the extra added attribute.

let me see if i can figure out the label way of doing it - right now we’re doing the lookup in the callback, was hoping to save a step though, especially if

getObjectDetails

is exposed 😄 i’ll add a feature request
