Attributes Valuation Propagation (PLMAttributesPropagation)

General Information

Each time you modify an attribute value manually, this opening ID is called in the New, Edit Properties and Sheet Editor dialog boxes. The Attribute Valuation Propagation opening ID Logic is called before applying the current propagation opening ID.

Notes:

If in the PLM mask (creation/edition) an attribute is declared as not editable, then the opening cannot overwrite this rule.
When used in the Edit Properties dialog box, navigation is not available.

Warning: Adding or deleting attribute extensions to the Business Logics dynamically is not supported by the Edit Properties, Attributes, and Sheet Editor dialog boxes. Their values will not be taken into account when you commit the attribute valuation (action behind the Apply, Finish or OK buttons).

The table below provides you with information related to the definition of the Opening ID.


Opening ID:	`PLMAttributesPropagation`
Customization intent:	Execution
Execution context:	Client

Input Objects

Input objects must be of the following types:

ThisObject
Parameters corresponds to the context object.

Context Object Parameters


Parameter Names	Types	Read/Write	Comments
`PropagationMode`	`String`	Read	Input parameter which specifies if the propagation must be performed on attribute value or on attribute visibility only. Authorized values are: Edition (visibility only) Valuation
`EditAttributeId`	`String`	Read	Input parameter which identifies the attribute that has been modified and whose edition requires propagation.
`Policy`	`String`	Read	Policy name.

The attribute visibility and propagation is directly applied on the instance handled by the BL.

Sample

The following sample shows how to automatically fill the Description and makes this attribute not editable in the UI.

<Scripts>
          <Script OpeningID="PLMAttributesPropagation"
          Type="MyPLMProduct"
          ScriptName="MyProductAttrPropagationScript" />
          </Scripts>

This family references the script that contains the business logic implementation, which looks like the following CATRule file:

let p(ValuePointer)
let propagationMode(String)
 
propagationMode = Parameters->GetAttributeString("PropagationMode")
If(propagationMode==”Edition” OR propagationMode == "Valuation")
{
               ThisObject.V_description = "My Description"
               p = ThisObject.GetAttributeValuePointer("V_description")
               p.Constant = True
}
