Data Sources and Scoping - Nextedy Documentation

How do data sources work in the sheet configuration?

The sources section defines how Powersheet queries data from Polarion. Each data source specifies a model reference, a from entity type, optional where filters, expand paths for loading related entities, and take limits. Powersheet automatically applies document-scoping constraints to all queries, ensuring data is filtered to the current document context.

sources:
  - model: my-rtm-model
    from: UserNeed
    where: "type:user_need"
    take: 500
    expand:
      - systemRequirements

Can I use dynamic values in my configuration?

Yes. Sheet configurations support $context expressions that are resolved at runtime. For example, $context.document.id resolves the current document path, and $context.source.project.id resolves the source entity’s project. Dynamic values are also used in constraint definitions to route entity creation based on the source entity type.
