"from_list" parameter value type #165

Closed manuelma closed 2 years ago

manuelma commented 2 years ago

At the moment, when we update a value in a parameter_value_list, the parameter_value table is not automatically updated. This is because the value field in the parameter_value table is not linked to the list at all (rather, the value is just repeated). I think we should link it via a new parameter value type named "from_list" or something.

Can we also have a "static_value" type that allows us to specify a list_value as a parameter value that is independent of the list if you know what I mean?

DillonJ commented 2 years ago

I added a comment to https://github.com/Spine-project/Spine-Database-API/issues/151 on how we could easily add the "static_value" symbol-like value

Feels like a small change that adds a lot of functionality.

manuelma commented 2 years ago

I think the 'free value' table can be useful to define values that can be referenced both from parameter_value and the new list_value table (implemented in the context of #151). But maybe we can create another issue for that as I think it's different functionality. This issue is more about improving/fixing something particular about parameter value lists.

Done.
