Set dispositions to "N/A" on all affected documents with action set to "Revise"

Question

I added this method under the "Server Events" tab, client-side, C# but it does not work. What is incorrect? 
 
 if (this.getProperty("action") == "Revise" && this.getProperty("item_type") == "Document") { this.setProperty("dispo_assemble","N/A"); this.setProperty("dispo_repairs","N/A"); this.setProperty("dispo_stock_kit","N/A"); this.setProperty("dispo_supplier_stock","N/A"); this.setProperty("dispo_wip","N/A"); } return this;

Hello, Ah. This is an Affected Item. Affected Items are pretty unique in terms of their data model. It'll likely take a little more work to get the ItemType of the affected item you've selected. The first step is to establish what data you have access to inside of this in your server event. You can check this a few ways either by turning on logs or by debugging into the method . this is going to store the request that's being sent to the server to add your affected item. As an example, let's work under the assumption that you're only given the bare minimum of information. Revise BC5157C0BB844887817719973C32C5AD From this request, we don't know what the ItemType of the affected item is; we just know the ID. To work around this, we can do a query to see if there's a Document in the system that has this ID. If we get a result, we know that the affected item is a Document and we should set the default values for the properties. If we get back nothing, the affected item is not a Document, and we should not set the default values for those properties. Innovator inn = this.getInnovator(); Item affectedDocument = inn.newItem("Document", "get"); affectedDocument.setID(this.getProperty("affected_id")); affectedDocument = affectedDocument.apply(); if (affectedDocument.isEmpty()) { // The affected item is a Document } else { // The affected item is not a Document } Chris

Hello, The type of item a request affects can be found in the type attribute of the request as you can see below. You can access this data most easily by using the getType() function, so your if statement could be easily modified to instead check for the type of item like so. if (this.getProperty("action") == "Revise" && this.getType() == "Document" ) Chris Christopher Gillis Aras Labs Software Engineer
