Add string to a list String property in pure Studio/automation

Hi,

I would like to add string into a property defined into a document type without new operation definition.

We can't easily add the item as:

the object returned by Document.getProperty("mySchema:myField") is a String[]
the set property operation manage only scalar values

Thanks

The following solution is not the most maintainable one (it uses prefixed java classes, even if it is quite stable packages)but works and is 100% Studio

Here is how I did it:

Fetch > something

I get the document that stores the list

Execution Context > Set Context Variable

parameters:

name: listOfSringTmp
Value: @{new java.util.ArrayList()}

Temporary variable where the list of all elements will be stored.

Scripting > Run Script

parameters:

script: java.util.Collections.addAll(Context["listOfSringTmp"], Document.getProperty("mySchema:myField"))

We add values stored into your document

Scripting > Run Script

parameters:

script: Context["listOfSringTmp"].add("MyNewValue")

And we add the new value

Scripting > Run Script

parameters:

script: Document.doc.setPropertyValue("mySchema:myField", Context["listOfSringTmp"].toArray())

And we set back the list into the document

Document > Save

I save my modification.
