Question

Add expressions to check access on individual attributes (e.g. for visibility based an access)

3

Hi,

we were recently confronted with a usecase that looked quite easy: “If a user does not have read access to attribute X, show ‘N/A’ instead”.

However, we cannot check if the user has access to the attribute or not. When accessing the attribute in an expression it will just throw an exception, which you cannot catch in conditional visibility.

It would be great if there was a kind of expression like ‘isReadable($object/attribute)’ to solve such requirements.

regards, Fabian

I am handling a situation where it would be helpful to have a similar expression to check if a user has write permissions
