    Hi amitosh,

    The setPreferenceItemProperties function does not save to the database. It updates a cached copy of the preference item that is saved when the user logs out of the system.

    In a similar manner, the getPreferenceItemProperty queries against this cached copy of the preference item. However, this function does do a get from the database if there is not already a cached copy stored locally.

I am using the APIs like this, and it does not work : 

Load form:

var topWindow = aras.getMostTopWindowWithAras(window);
var storedGroup = topWindow.aras.getPreferenceItemProperty('Core_GlobalLayout', null, 'user_loggedin_group');

Ok Button click:

aras.setPreferenceItemProperties('Core_GlobalLayout', null, {'user_loggedin_group': idItem.getProperty("id")});
