Record Field Id

Certified Senior Developer

Hi everyone Slight smile,

I have scenario where my data is stored in Map/Dictionary.

Now this has to be stored in record.
Each field to be mapped with the respective record field.

Considering the volume, Is there a way to use the Field Id to map the value.
Example:

a!localvariables(


local!list:{
{
columnName:"Name",
recordFieldId"4567898765"
},

{
columnName:"Desc",
recordFieldId"4567856894"
},

/* Now the data to be mapped */
a!foreach(
locaL!list,
index(record,fv!item.recordFieldId,null)
)

)

    I have a grid with 30 Columns.
    All these column names are stored in Table.

    In the grid, used a!foreach to populate the headers.
    For rows, a!foreach is used for each row generation. And for each column, again a!foreach is used. So here just with index, the values to be saved in the appropriate field.

    In the picture, used an expression rule to return the recordtype!record.field based on the label.

    Is there any way, we get the field index from table. Because we already have the Column Labels in table which is queried in the interface. If the field index is stored in table, we can use it easily. Considering the performance of displayvalue() when we have large set of columns, I am checking the possibility of taking it from the table.

    Let's give it a try by doing this,

    Update an Rule MCI_returnRecordFieldBasedOnLabel

    a!localVariables(
      local!fieldMap: {
        {label: "Name", field: "name"},
        {label: "Description", field: "description"},
        {label: "Status", field: "status"},
        /* Add all 30 field mappings here */
      },
    
      index(
        index(
          local!fieldMap,
          wherecontains(ri!label, local!fieldMap.label),
          {}
        ),
        "field",
        null
      )
    )


    Use this type of grid code:

    a!localVariables(
      local!columns: rule!getColumnsFromTable(), /* Your column labels from DB */
      local!data:{}, /* Your data */
    {
      a!gridLayout(
        rows: a!forEach(
          items: local!data,
          expression: a!gridRowLayout(
            contents: a!forEach(
              items: local!columns,
              expression: a!textField(
                value: index(
                  fv!item,
                  rule!MCI_returnRecordFieldBasedOnLabel(
                    label: fv!item.columnLabel
                  ),
                  null
                ),
                saveInto: {
                  a!save(
                    index(
                      fv!item,
                      rule!MCI_returnRecordFieldBasedOnLabel(
                        label: fv!item.columnLabel
                      ),
                      null
                    ),
                    save!value
                  )
                }
              )
            )
          )
        )
      )
      }
    )
