How to feed consolidated element...

[late.vaibhav]

Hi,

Recently I come to the situation where my leaf level cell are set to zero/ blank but at the consolidation I have applied one rule. I have written feeder for the same but as per my knowledge feeders will be applicable only for leaf level. So because of this my consolidated cell becomes NOT FED and disappears after zero suppress.
Kindly provide the solution where I don’t need to do any changes in METADATA.

Thanks in advance...

Hi,
The only way is to create a (hidden) child element and feed it. The consolidated element is "fed" only when it has at least one it's child is fed.

Here is a good discussion about handling rule-driven consolidations and techniques to use for the issue you describe.
