Mathias,

I appreciate all the help on this.

Is it possible to bootstrap a Resource on the gizmo child that can be used to keep track of the number of selections of that type that are available?

I have the Lifepath module with this as the child:

  <!-- Lifepath Module -->
  <!-- form="lifepathgiz"> -->
  <entity
    id="lpCustom"
    form="lifepathgiz">
    <bootstrap thing="LifepathHelper"/>
    </entity>

LifepathHelper has a bootstrap of resLPSpecialty. It also has this on the script:

	  
	  foreach bootstrap in this where "thingid.resLPSpecialty"
	    eachthing.field[resMax].value += parent.field[lpNumSpec].value
		nexteach

This is the portal on the lifepathgiz form where I'm trying to display the resLPSpecialty summary:

  <portal
    id="lpSpecialty"
    style="tblNormal">
    <table_dynamic
      component="Specialty"
      showtemplate="SimpleItem"
      choosetemplate="SimpleItem"
      alwaysupdate="yes"
      scrollable="yes"
      addpick="LifepathHelper"
      headerpick="LifepathHelper"
      candidatepick="LifepathHelper"
	  candidatefield="lpSpecExpr">
      <autotag group="Helper" tag="Shadow"/>
      <headertitle><![CDATA[
        @text = parent.tagnames[LifepathCat.?,","] &" (" & parent.field[name].text & ") Specialty - " & container.childfound[resLPSpecialty].field[resShort].text
        ]]></headertitle>
      <additem><![CDATA[
        @text = "Select Specialty"
        ]]></additem>
      </table_dynamic>
    </portal>

The summary is always showing a 0 of 0 value however. Am I missing timings or something?
