Guys, I'm trying to aggregate on multiple transaction child records to see if their sum meets a threshold. I want to do this without using the aggs module in 1.0.0 because while it does give me a way to sum, it doesn't really seem to give a way to compare to a threshold after the sum is computed. Can Mvel give me access to a collection of records which are scooped up by some piece of a query higher up on the filtering chain? In other words, if I have a has\_child query and run a range query within that and then try to use Mvel to sum and compare. Is this possible? Or is the only available ctx context per document?
