KM property metadata and default value

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are on EP6 sp17 and I know it's possible to fill the parameter "default value" of the property metadata with a static value, but is it possible to fill the default value dynamically from an another property metadata?

In advance thank you for your help.

Hi Pino,

I think I found the solution for setting the default value of a property via API. If you have the unique property id (propertyUniqueID) and the new default value that you want to set (newDefaultValue):

IConfigurationAccess icAccess = Configuration.getInstance();
		
IWDClientUser wdcu = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = wdcu.getSAPUser();
		
IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
 
IConfigClientContext confContext = IConfigClientContext.createContext(user);
IConfigManager icManager = icAccess.getConfigManager(confContext);
IConfigPlugin icPlugin = icManager.getConfigPlugin(ConfigurationProxy.CFG_PLUGIN_CM_SERVICES_PROPERTIES_METADATA);
 
imConf = icPlugin.getAndLockConfigurable(propertyUniqueID, 0, 0);
imConf.setPropertyValue("default", newDefaultValue);
 
icPlugin.replaceConfigurable(imConf);

Hi Pino,

I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but it is not possible to change the default value of the property metadata configuration dynamically. It's definitely not possible through configuration and I can't find a way to do this through the API.

Please explain your requirement, maybe we can find a workaround!
