    • Re: And how to get selected value of Selection object?

      Try something like this:
      $mynode.data_map.rfcstatus.class_content.options[$mynode.data_map.rfcstatus.value[0]].name
      
  • Type

    Where it reads for the attributes names:
    "contentclass_attribute_identifier"
    and
    "contentclass_attribute_name"

    should just be:
    "identifier"
    and
    "name"
