Rules for Folder Metadata Update

Question

How to create a rule which is executed when the folder metadata is updated?
I tried creating a global rule. Rule groupings are reflected on folder metadata information, but when I need to derive one value from another when the folder information page is update - it does not happen.

Answer 1

No. But thank you for the imformation. I know how to create dependent choice lists.
The problem was in the following.
As I want some metadata fields be dependent on dsecuritygroup and ddoctype and they can not be chosen as dependent fields, i had to implement additional xdoctype and xsecuritygroup metadata fields. that means that for system ddoctype and dsecuritygroup fields the values shlould be derived from my custom fields.What was done with the use of rules. But the problem was, that the values were derived only for the content items, but not for folders. E.g. when I updated xSecurityGroup for the folder, corresponding value of dSecurityGroup for this folder was not updated.
Finally I wrote a trigger on Colmeta and Collections tables.
But I am very glad, you answered my post, may be you can also help me with the following:
1) Derived Value - Concatenated String Fields
2) When you define a view there is a nuber of parameters which are not defined in help:
- publish view data
- allow modification by contributors
- use standard doc. security
- use custom security implementor
3) Choice List Depending on Two Fields
