Can you get a fields surrogate value using metadata?

[renierne]

I have a grid on a winc panel I want to loop all the fields in the grid and then loop all the properties to get either a unique identifier of the field (object surrogate key) or the field name witch you define when creating the field in plex not the left label.

 

I have the following but not sure exactly what the property needs to be :

 

+++Define Field: AbbreviatedName
+For Each Field MyGrid
  +For Each Property Target TRP for NME
   +++Set Value To Current Field: AbbreviatedName
   ++Name Defined Field: AbbreviatedName, MyGrid<AbbreviatedName>
    Append MyGrid

 

Thanks

I got it working, did not know you dont need to loop the properties you only have to loop the fields to get the actual name..

 

+++Define Field: AbbreviatedName
 +For Each Field MyGrid
    +++Set Value To Current Field: AbbreviatedName
     ++Name Defined Field: AbbreviatedName, MyGrid<AbbreviatedName>
    Append MyGrid

 

But if there's a way to get the field surrogate key please reply

Hi renierne,

for

++Name Defined Field: AbbreviatedName, MyGrid<AbbreviatedName>....

use ++Name Defined Field: AbbreviatedName, MyGrid<AbbreviatedName>,.Surrogate/SurrogateName (as you prefer)

 

Syntax: ++Name Defined metavariable, resultfield, name preference

having following options for preference:.Host, .Language, .Library, .Model, .Scoped, .Surrogate, .SurrogateName, .Unscoped
