Parameters
You can set parameters as key-value-pairs for each action. You can use certain placeholders for dynamic parameter values:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
current_object_id | The ID of the business object where the action was clicked. |
property_{id} | The value of a specific property of the business object where the action was clicked. Replace {id} with a specific property ID. You can get the property ID in Model Designer |
If you want to pass the ID of an object to a Flow, you can do:
ID: triggerObjectId Value: current_object_id
Conditions
Default Values
You can set default values for all Business model properties. These values will be used when creating Business Object. They can be overwritten by the User.
If you want to have a Default Value in a combination with Readonly you have to first make the property not Readonly then set Default value and make the property Readonly again.
