Problem definition

AQL search that can compare attribute values, between an object attribute and an attribute from its referenced object, is not currently implemented.

For example:

• We have an object type "Sim card", which has "Cost Center" attribute (text value)
• This same object type "Sim card" has reference to "Owner" user object.
• "Owner" user object also has "Cost Center" attribute.
• AQL that tries to find objects having different value in "Cost Center" attribute and in the referenced object's "Cost Center" attribute, does not give expected values:

  "Cost Center" != "Owner"."Cost Center"

At the same time, the placeholders cannot be used in this case. This will not work:

Name != ${Attribute Y.Name} 

Suggested resolution

Implement support for comparing attribute values with referenced attribute values, not only strings.
Implement support for attribute placeholders in AQL.
