We have a specific language requirement for certain types of emails and I am trying to update a lead field with a code for the the language sent in the email for a consumer.
#if (${lead.accntsolflag}=="1" && ${lead.crlcccode}=="N" && ${lead.cnsmrlangspkn}=="E")
Disclosure Text1
#set ($SOLDisclosureID = "1")
${lead.SOLDisclosureID} = $SOLDisclosureID
#end
Is it possible to update the lead field in velocity script?
Please use the Syntax Highlighter (“Insert/Edit Code Sample” button) when posting code so it’s readable. I edited your post this time.
Your code has a number of errors, but fundamentally if your question is “Can I permanently change the value of a field in Velocity” the answer is No. Velocity can change the way a field is formatted in an email (and a million other things). It can’t change values in the database — it only sees a copy of the field values and can’t write back to the db.
You shouldn’t be using formal notation (${variable}) inside #directives, and should be using .equals() instead of ==. Not sure what you expect that code to do, of course, so it’s hard to correct it in full.
