How to add custom attribute that will compute a script during delivery like delivery label

[saikatk2447661]

Hi All,

I am trying to add a custom attribute (Delivery Label 2) that will contain a computed value from a script during delivery like delivery label. I want to put script like <%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D/%2M/%2Y") %> and it should put the date value in a custom attribute.

I duplicated code from delivery table and input form as it is but I am unable to figure out how to execute the script of labelScript_new and assign the value to Delivery Label 2.

Data schema:

<attribute name="deliveryLabel2" label="Delivery Label 2" type="string"/>

<attribute label="Compute the label during delivery analysis" name="useLabelScript_new"
type="boolean"/>
<element desc="Delivery label computation script" label="Delivery Code Id"
name="labelScript_new" required="true" type="string">
</element>

Form:

<input xpath="scenario/@useLabelScript_new"/>
<container type="visibleGroup" visibleIf="[scenario/@useLabelScript_new]">
<input label="Label" menuId="deliveryMenuBuilder" options="noRcp" type="scriptEdit"
xpath="scenario/labelScript_new"/>
</container>

How to execute the script of labelScript_new and assign the value to Delivery Label 2?

Is there any javascript function that can evaluate a string as js code and execute? If there is, I can put that in a code type typology rule.

I think you can solve this problem by:
 - Adding the script to the form.

or

 - By making a typology rule as you mentioned

Hi,

Those fields are all hardcoded to render jssp tags somehow.

If you're rolling your own you'll have to use a control typology rule to do something like this (*ducks*):

if (field.match(/^<%=/)) field = eval(field.replace/^<%=/, '').replace(/%>$/, ''));

Thanks,
