Properties

Use this field to specify properties for which you want to set values as name-value pairs.

For multiple properties, include them as a comma-separated list.

This field is used with these action types:

  • Dispatch Update Collection
  • Set Values
  • Update Collection

For a Set Values action type, this parameter is used only with IdoOnItemInsert, IdoOnItemUpdate, IdoOnItemDelete, and IdoPostLoadCollection framework events.

To construct the name-value pairs using the Event Action Set Name/Value Pairs form, click the button to the left of this field.

The contents of this field must use this syntax for each property:

propName = scalarExpr

where:

  • propName is a string literal or string expression that resolves to the name of the property.
  • scalarExpr is the value to be assigned to that property when the event action executes.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the application "wraps" this content within a SETPROPVALUES( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

SETPROPVALUES( propName = scalarExpr[, ...] )

Note:  If a propName or scalarExpr is a literal value, the application automatically encloses it in double quotation marks when returning it to the Event Actions form. If a propName or scalarExpr is an expression, the application does not enclose it in quotation marks.
