The behavior of the block is similar to the block, with some important differences:
Works only with elements generated using block that are dynamically added.
Element Selection: You can only choose an element placed inside the selected element.
Data Design: to choose the element whose element you want to target.
Element: to choose the element, within the selected , you want to set the value 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.
Data: that accepts the value to set (of type )
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 element (Input43) for the owned quantity is set to the value of variable b (which has the value of 50) for Company 1, which as rendered with the ID ST100 .
The result of the above example is highlighted below, where the owned quantity element (Input43) is filled with the value 50 for Company 1.
In the second example, we will demonstrate the scenario where neither ID nor ID2 are provided. In this case, the system will populate the owned quantity element (Input43) for all generated instances.
The result of the above example is highlighted below where the owned quantity element (Input43) is filled with 0 for both the companies.
