Export code includes a code ^sectionNumber^
which gives output like this 1.17.25
. It is effectively a chaining off all the $SiblingOrder values for ancestors and that of the current note.
This can be achieved in action code but is somewhat inelegant as root level notes require a different handling and action code conditionals require a full expression inside the branch. This to set $MyString to the section number use:
if($OutlineDepth >1){
collect(ancestor,$SiblingOrder).reverse.format(".")+"."+$SiblingOrder;
}else{
$SiblingOrder
};
Or, in one-line form:
if($OutlineDepth >1){collect(ancestor,$SiblingOrder).reverse.format(".")+"."+$SiblingOrder;}else{$SiblingOrder};
