Using service properties in visio Link shape

Solved765 views7th July 2023Visio

Hugo Andrade [SLC] [DevOps Advocate]213 10th January 2023 4 Comments

Hello!

I am trying to use a service property that has a key to access a parameter to compose a link for a thumbnail. If I use this key hardcoded it works, but when using the property the shape doesn’t appear.

See the example bellow:

What am I missing to be able to use this property in the link?

Thanks in advance.

You’re using both [This element] and [This service]. Are you sure both these are resolving to a value? To what object is this Visio file attached to? Is it an element or a service?

Hugo Andrade [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 10th January 2023

Hi Sebastiaan! Yes, I’m able to retrieve values using [this service] and [this element], the problem seems to be only with the use of the property as it is in the image. The visio is attached to a service but uses elements present in the service.

Bruno Dias [SLC] [DevOps Member] commented 10th January 2023

Is this Visio is applied on an element or on a service?

Hugo Andrade [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 10th January 2023

Hi Bruno, the visio is applied on a service.

This is not exactly a solution but a tip to resolve this is to put all your placeholders in separate shapes and see what they return (just a new empty shape and put the placeholder as text). This may help you understand what is being parsed and what could be failing. Then you should test if the full string concatenation matches the expected URL.

Here’s an example for visio shapes in your case.

I hope this helps you to get the solution to the problem!
