Parts of lists and groups reference
Lists and groups.
Lists
For Value List and Page List properties, the index is a number starting with 1. To reference a single element of the list, use an expression that evaluates to a positive integer value.
For example, you can set the first two elements of the
Value List
property named
Months
using a data transform's Set action or using the
Property-Set method as follows:
| .Months(1) | "January" |
| .Months(2) | "February" |
Numeric indexes work similarly for a Page List property. The LoanApplications
Page List
property contains a
Single Value
property
named LoanAmount:
| .LoanApplications(1).LoanAmount | "1000" |
| .LoanApplications(2).LoanAmount | "2000" |
Groups
Each element of a
Value Group
or
Page Group
property is
identified by a unique value that must be a
Java identifier. You
can enter a constant string as the index, such as Mother or Massachusetts:
| .FamilyMembers(Mother) | "Nancy" |
| .FamilyMembers(Father) | "George" |
You can also enter an expression that evaluates to a string value. The result must be a valid Java identifier.
On the Clipboard tool display,
Value Group
values appear on the right
panel.
