Hi, we’re using a shareable component inside an iterating container, but have encountered an issue: the iterator context section is missing when setting up conditions on the shareable component.

Below you can see screenshots of the Condition dialog 1) when opened on a shareable component, and 2) on the top-level container after detaching the component from its parent.

Hi @Joanna,

Thanks for reporting this! I’ve registered it as a challenge to be addressed in future development.

Hey @Simona, I have now tested passing a data source with cardinality many to a shareable component instaed, and, even though the iterator context is then present, the behavior itself is buggy. I’m using a 2-level iteration comparing value on the parent level with L1, but based on the outcome, it seems that the L1 is disregarded and it’s the parent level that’s inserted on both sides of the comparison, always resulting in `true`.

Hey @Joanna ,
