Rule blocked: SEND49

unit-test-coreid-SENDIG_49.xlsx

In SEND49 we need to test whether, when the SENDIG states that there is a codelists associated to a variable, it must be declared in the define.xml, either on the variable level or at the valuelist level.
So, we want to first check on the variable level, where we use:

• name: 'library_variable_ccode'
  operator: non_empty
• name: define_variable_ccode
  operator: not_equal_to
  value: library_variable_ccode
  if the result of the second is "false", we need to further check on the valuelist level.
  So we change/add (full code is in the rule-editor):
• name: 'library_variable_ccode'
  operator: non_empty
  • any:
    • name: define_vlm_ccode
      operator: not_equal_to
      value: 'test'
    • name: define_variable_ccode
      operator: empty
    • name: define_variable_ccode
      operator: not_equal_to
      value: library_variable_ccode

but then we get a message "define_vlm_ccode":"Not in dataset"
As "define_vlm_ccode" is defined as "ValueListDef.ItemDef.CodeList.Alias.Name" it looks as it acts on a single ValueList-ItemDef. But as we start by checking on a variable ItemDef, it looks as the system does not recognize that a "ValueList" is added to the variable (ItemDef).

The request is to develop something so that we can check both on the variable level as on the valuelist level, i.e. when we start at the variable level, it is recognized when there is a valuelist attached to that variable, and that for each item in the valuelist, we can check on presence of a codelist and whether this codelist is the correct one to be used.

I attach a test file "define_negative_VSORRESU_ValueList_test.xml" where for VSORRESU, the codelist has been "delegated" to the ValueList level ItemDefs.
If more test files are needed, please let me know.

And here is the Excel file, needed, although nothing is really checked in it.

Current status (2025-12-17): with the current code, we only get a false positive in the case that the CodeList reference is on the ValueList items but not on the Variable item.
This as we cannot check on the ValueList level yet as we, when starting from the Variable level, do not know what the ValueList items are, and that knowledge is necessary to use "define_vlm_ccode"
I attach such a define.xml file where VSORRESU does not have a codelist referenced, but the codelist referencing is done on the ValueList level (VL.VSORRESU).
