Property Qualifier rules

|
Property qualifier rules are referenced on the Property rule form. See Property form — Completing the Advanced tab.
For a property that references the standard pyCurrency or pyUnits qualifier, use the PublicAPI method Dictionary.getPropertyViaQualifier() to identify the companion property that holds the currency code or units.
Other Java methods in the PublicAPI Dictionary class are useful when defining edit input rules (Rule-Edit-Input rule type) and HTML Property rules for properties that reference a custom qualifier in your application:
On
the Advanced tab of the Property
form, you normally associate a fixed value for each qualifier
listed.
Alternatively, the value can be set or retrieved dynamically, in a Java step, using two Java methods in the ClipboardProperty PublicAPI interface:
public final void setQualifier(String
aName, String aValue);
public final String getQualifier(String aName);
These associate a value temporarily with the property. The qualifier (aName) must appear on the Advanced tab of the Property form with a blank value.
Such qualifier values are not saved when a page containing the property is saved. Modifying such qualifier values is not considered an update to the property value for change tracking purposes.
