Hi KalleAnka, I maybe found a solution: 1. Create a new ItemType 2. Add your properties, e.g. item_number and name 3. Create a new "onGet" Server Event 4. Add the following code: 
Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
Item qryItem = inn.newItem(); 
qryItem.loadAML( 
        "<Item type='Part' action='get' select='item_number,name' doGetItem='0'>" +
        "</Item>"
); 
Item resultItem = qryItem.apply();
   
return resultItem;
Best regards! Angela
