Access to fields of different objects in one tabular table

In many cases, it is required to access a specific field of a pipe in node tables or vice versa

    Yes, please!

    What if we added the referenced pipe diameter to the isolation valve properties?

    Yes, correct and I am saying that to have the pipe diameter in the valve table would make the life easier to adjust and define the isolating valve diameter.

    For the moment you cannot see the pipe diameter in the valve table. I am suggesting that they add it in to this table.

    With only a few rare exceptions, the dimeter of an isolation valve is the same as the diameter or the pipe on either side of the valve. Rather than using a prototype diameter, we should default the diameter to that of the adjacent pipes. Did you ever see a 6 inch valve on a 24 inch pipe?

    Suggest you want to define the Isolating Valve diameter correspondence to the connected pipe diameter. There are two ways:

    1 - open the specification of the reference pipe, where the pipe diameter is given then adjust the valve diameter accordingly. This should be done manually, one by one for each pipe and connected valve.

    2 - To synchronize the pipe diameter to the isolating valve, where the details is described in the link below:

    https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum/245850/how-can-i-add-reference-pipe-diameter-or-other-specific-fields-of-the-referenced-pipe-to-the-isolating-valve-table/767550

    However, the first step takes time and the second step is not still the solution. Because in many cases the valve diameter is not exactly same as pipe internal diameter (e.g. for HDPE pipes).

    For such these cases, if the user can access to other field of the referenced pipe, mainly the pipe diameter, though the isolating valve table, then the life would be easy! The user can simply filter the same pipe diameter and adjust the related isolating valve accordingly.
