SetVar, Service and updating custom Service properties.

Solved223 views22nd April 2025SetVar

David Merrifield [DevOps Advocate]626 7th April 2025 0 Comments

Hi All,

Attempted to add session variables to my page but I have run into a little trouble. I have a drop down list where the user can select a service from the list. The shape data is set to: SetVar = service:name1:name2:name3 for example.

I then have a element which takes that service variable. The element shape data is set to: Element = [PageVar:service] This will update the shape data with the selected service. I see this change by monitoring the service name. All happy, but I have trouble with the following.

On this element shape I also have properties grouped together with this shape. These include custom properties defined on each service in the drop down list. Shape data is for example: Property = Encoder Service name. "Encoder Service name" is what is defined on each service with a custom value.

This works but when I switch between the services in the list, the properties do not always update, but I can see the service name updating on every change, but not for the properties. After about 6 attempts of working, it then stops working, but then can also start working again..

Would really like to get this working if anyone can help?

Thanks,
Dave

After investigating this behavior, it was found that properties used with shape data and a * in text do not update when a service shape is swapped from Service A to Service B and then back to Service A.

As workaround, the [property:myproperty] shape data can be used in combination with the "ForcePropertyFromShape" option to achieve the same result.
