How to get the feature that created an entity?

michael_truell

I have an entity that is an element of the list returned by evaluateQuery.

How can I get the feature id of the feature that created this entity?

In particular, how can I find the string s such that my entity will be in the list returned by: evaluateQuery(context, qCreatedBy(makeId(s), the_entity_type_of_my_entity))?

Hi @NeilCooke! Doesn't qCreatedBy only generally accept the id of the feature that created the entity? Not the id that last modified the entity?

Alternatively, does there exist something like a qModifiedBy function?

Not sure I understand what you're trying to do? If you already have the query, why do you need the id? Anyway, id's can change depending upon what modified the body so that function is the only way to get the id.
