Rules for Indirect References

Indirect references have some restrictions:

• Indirect references may only be made to structures within the same dictionary and node as the structure being accessed or edited.
• The template being referenced cannot itself contain an indirect reference.
• Indirect references must be made with respect to the rules governing the template being referenced.
• The length of the indirect field must be exactly equal to the maximum length of the specified entity.

Information about the template/field from the Edit Template Format/Fields screen appear as protected literals: Dictionary, Node, Entity, Template, Field Identifier, Data Type, Field Number, and Template Bracket Mode status.
