Do editing logic functions work with enums?

Do editing logic functions work with enums? If so, how do I implement it?

Thanks

Could it be as simple as the misspelling of "length"?

NeilCooke

Try something like:

        if(changedDefinition.myEnum == myEnum.ONE)<br>             changedDefinition.length = 1*inch; <br>       if(changedDefinition.myEnum == myEnum.TWO)<br>             changedDefinition.length = 2*inch; <br>    }<br>    return changedDefinition;</code><h2><pre class="CodeBlock"><code>if(oldDefinition.myEnum != changedDefinition.myEnum)<br><code>    {<br>

They do -- as with the other parameters, you set the changed enum in the returned definition of the editing logic function.  What is the difficulty you are running into?

Lee_Hesketh

Well, I am checking if the enum is a certain value and setting another value to an arbitrary value.

export function defaults(context is Context,id is Id, oldDefinition is map, changedDefinition is map) returns map
{
    if(oldDefinition.myEnum==myEnum.ONE)
    {
        changedDefinition.legnth = 1*inch; 
    }
    return changedDefinition;
}

But nothing happens and  don't know why.

I don't see an issue here.  Does the error pane show anything?  Sharing the document may help.

Also, you need isCreating in the logic function parameters if you want this to work on existing features.

It works if I change the value after the if statements, just not in them.

Lee_Hesketh

I fixed it, damn you misspelling!

Lee_Hesketh

Now there is another error, for some reason, the value set if the enum is TOP should be 64 and 128 if it is BOTTOM. However, they are switched. I haven't changed this in the code. Why is it doing this?

ilya_baran

It's because you're checking oldDefinition instead of newDefinition.  It's checking where you're switching *from*.

Lee_Hesketh

Ah, so would I just change it to newDefinition?

ilya_baran

Yes -- check the value in newDefinition.  oldDefinition is primarily there to see what's changed, not what a parameter has changed *to*.

Lee_Hesketh

Okay, now there is another problem. The value is now fixed, as soon as I change it, it changes itself back to 64mm

Try something like:

        if(changedDefinition.myEnum == myEnum.ONE)<br>             changedDefinition.length = 1*inch; <br>       if(changedDefinition.myEnum == myEnum.TWO)<br>             changedDefinition.length = 2*inch; <br>    }<br>    return changedDefinition;</code><h2><pre class="CodeBlock"><code>if(oldDefinition.myEnum != changedDefinition.myEnum)<br><code>    {<br>

Thank you so much!
