xtk.session.Write for memo element

[#1]

I have a temporary schema that has a bunch of normal attributes and a memo element. When I use xtk.session.Write with an XML object, the attributes update fine, but the memo element (IrMessage) is blank. Any idea how to template in an XML element in the JS?

<!-- Key Fields -->
    <attribute label="Workflow Id" length="32" name="workflowId" notNull="true" required="true"
               type="string"/>
    <attribute label="Service Order Id" length="12" name="serviceOrderId" notNull="true"
               required="true" type="string"/>
    <attribute label="Switch Document Id" length="20" name="switchDocumentId" notNull="true"
               required="true" type="string"/>
    
    <!-- data fields -->
    <attribute label="EDM Link" length="256" name="edmLink" type="string"/>
    <attribute label="bit.ly code" length="12" name="bitly" type="string"/>

    <element label="IR Message" name="IrMessage" type="memo"/>
    <attribute label="IR Description" name="IrDescription" type="string"/>

writeRecord: function ( data ) {
   
      try{ 
        xtk.session.Write(
          <TempData xtkschema="ori:TempData" 
            _operation="insert"
            _key="@switchDocumentId,@serviceOrderId,@workflowId"
            switchDocumentId={data.switchDocumentId}
            serviceOrderId={data.serviceOrderId}
            workflowId={vars.thisWorkflowId}
            edmLink={data.edmLink}  
            bitly={data.bitly} 
            IrDescription = {data.IrDescription}>
            <IrMessage>{data.IrMessage}</IrMessage>
          </TempData>);
      } catch (e) {
        logError("Something bad happened in writeRecord: " + e);
      }
}

Managed to do it via sqlExec, but interested to know why the above xtk.session.Write method wouldn't work

try {
  sqlExec("insert into oritempdata (sbitly,sedmLink,sIrDescription,mIrMessage,sswitchDocumentId,sserviceOrderId,sworkflowId) values ('" + data.bitly + "','" + data.edmLink + "','" + data.IrDescription + "','" + data.IrMessage + "','" + data.switchDocumentId + "','" + data.serviceOrderId + "','" + vars.thisWorkflowId + "');");
} catch (e) {
   logError("Something bad happened in writeRecord: " + e);
}

Try xtk.persist.Write(). The sqlExec() call needs special access right and is not as safe/user-friendly- cf your example code where there aren't bind variables or even input escape, so a ' in IrDescription will crash the script.

Thanks for the tip - do you have any examples of how to use xtk.persist.Write() with a memo field? As you can see above I couldnt get the xtk.session.Write() to work with the memo field so had to hack the sqlExec() together as a workaround
