Hi all,
I created new custom attribute (in 7.1.0 version) and there is no API name and no original name. How can I set this?
I've created many custom attributes, but either don't know how to set API name, Original name you can set with RENAME .
By the way, why do you want the API name ? For reports ? I use TypeNumber in this case ..
By the way, using TypeNumber of custom attribute is not a good idea :). Unfortunately in Aris , when you restart the server , the TypeNumber values of custom attributes are changing and your report becomes useless... I had this problem recently when my reports became invalid after restarting and found the following solution :
var objocc=ArisData.getSelectedObjOccs()[0]
var db=ArisData.getActiveDatabase();
var filter=db.ActiveFilter();
attribute=objocc.Attribute(filter.UserDefinedAttributeTypeNum("10106850-3ac3-11e1-4e4f-005056b1005f"), lang).getValue();
"10106850-3ac3-11e1-4e4f-005056b1005f" - is GUID of attribute, it doesn't change !
Hope this will help you
