Clearing multi -language descriptions when copying an object
The RemoveMultiLanguageValues()
script function can be used in copy methods
scripts to clear out translated free text that is not relevant to the new object.
The syntax for the new function:
RemoveMultiLanguageValues(objectSymbol As String, objectKey As String) As Integer
RemoveMultiLanguageValues(objectSymbol As String, objectKey As String, fieldNames As List(Of String)) As Integer
RemoveMultiLanguageValues(objectSymbol As String, objectKey As String, fieldNames As List(Of String), languageCodes As List(Of String)) As Integer
The objectSymbol and objectKey arguments can be sent a blank to indicate that the current object must be used.
The fieldNames and languageCodes arguments can be sent an empty list to indicate that all fields and all languages must be removed (except for the current language). A null list for either argument results an error.
The fieldNames argument can be sent a mixed list of FIELD_NAME values or DB_FIELD_NAME values from FsValidationField.
This returns the number of multi-language rows removed during this call. Returns -1 if the target object is not found.
If the fieldNames or languageCodes lists contain either fields that don't support multi-language or language codes not defined in Optiva's configuration an error message is displayed.
