Getting identifier values for identifier inside case using element in AllCases

Question

I know that you can refer to the value of any identifier inside of a case if you have an index/element parameter for that case.

An example of this is used in the FlowShop problem for comparing cases:

I know this feature has existed for quite some time already. However, I am trying to access the value of an identifier inside of a case, but the identifier is part of a module (so it has a prefix). In the above example, suppose that I have the p_GCJobStart inside of a module with the prefix custom_prefix, in theory this should then be:

However, this does not work.

Is there any way that I can use this construct to get the value of the identifier inside the case without explicitly copying it?

Hi ​@gdiepen. What do you mean by “this does not work”? It seems to work for me. I have attached a modified version of the example. The parameter thatusesthe prefix isp_case_GCJobStartMod. I am using AIMMS 26.1.1. Are you doing something different? If so, can you please share your project?

Hi ​@Marcel HuntingI guess it does work, just got confused by the highlighting in the editor, as well as the non-working name-completion:When I was testing this, due to the feedback in the editor I thought it would not work, was never thinking about pressing commit to see if the engine would accept it.Happy that it works, thanks for the quick answer!
