Set Content in Data Design is a that allows you to set the content of elements that were generated using the block and dynamically added to the page or form.
The block consists of the following (from top to bottom):
Set: Overwrite the contents of the chosen Element with Content provided.
Append: Add the Content provided to the existing content of the chosen Element.
Prepend: Add the Content provided before any existing content of the chosen Element.
The result of the above example is highlighted below, where the stock price for Company 2 is displayed with the value we set.
In the above image the ID and ID2 value parameters are left blank and the Content value parameter is set to the text "Loading...: .
The behavior of the block is similar to the block, with some important differences:
Element Selection: You can only choose an element placed inside the selected element.
Works only with elements generated using block that are dynamically added.
Behavior: that allows you to choose from three options:
Data Design: to choose the element whose element you want to target.
Element: to choose the element, within the selected , you want to change the content of.
ID: Optional that accepts a value representing the unique value that was provided to the block. See below for more details.
ID2: Optional that accepts a value representing the secondary identifier that can be used to identify the desired element. See below for more details.
Content: that accepts a value containing the content you want to set.
The behavior of this block depends on the ID and ID2 and is detailed below:
ID and ID2 not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same element.
ID2 provided and ID not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same element with the same ID2 value.
ID provided and ID2 not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same element with the same ID value. Since we recommend the ID value to be unique, this would choose one from all the generated instances of the associated element.
ID and ID2 provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same element with the same ID and ID2 value.
NOTE: Please refer to the prerequisite information shown before seeing the example.
The image below shows an example in which the content of the element that displays the current stock price (Text460) is set to 123.4 for Company 2, which is rendered with the ID ST101 .
In the second example, we will demonstrate the case where neither ID nor ID2 are provided. In this scenario, the system will set the content of the element (Text460) for all generated instances of the selected Data Design element.
The result of the above example is highlighted below where the element showing the stock price of both companies says "Loading..."
