🙇 👏 💃 😌 Thank You @ferdinand
Access an Enclosing Entity from a Subordinate Entity, was the solution I was searching for hence I needed to alter the GeDialog from inside the TreeViewFunctions. This seems to be the only solution hence these checkboxes belong to the treeview ?!?
Anyway its working and I am very happy 🙂
User sets checkbox -> Sum is calculated -> button is activated.
I updated the example code (and removed the now unnecessary button to prevent further confusion) with the desired behavior for future readers.
kind regards
