Set Thumbnail Trigger Action - action on other assets

(gja) #1

Matrix Version: 5.4.1.2

I know this has been raised before, without real resolution.

I am wanting to create a trigger that fires when Image is created ( under a specific root node) ,
that image is set as a thumbnail of the direct parent asset.

Set Thumbnail Action with Action on Other Assets setting looks like it should do the trick.

But I don’t seem to be able to make it work.

I’ve selected “Include Linked Parents?” Type 2 and Type 1 and left the other settings as defaults.

Should Set Thumbnail Action with Action on Other Assets be able to set the asset that created the event as the thumbnail of its parent.?

Thumbnails are set via NOTICE links, so you can use the Create Link trigger action to fire when the image is created to create a Notice link to its parent using the dynamic parameter, like this:

Thanks Bart, I tried that and it worked a treat.

I’m wonder why there is a Set Thumbnail trigger action, if to set a thumbnail, the required trigger action is create link?

You can use that as well, I guess you would then use Action on Other Assets and select the %asset_parent% as the asset to fire on and use the current asset as a dynamic parameter source for the Set Thumbnail action.
