There may be occasions when you need to show lifecycle data in a
field (example: when interacting with a third party API).
To show lifecycle data in a field, there must be a lifecycle
associated with the Business Object and then you need to create a calculated
field.
To create a calculated field
for lifecycle data:
- Create a Blueprint.
- Open the Business Object Editor.
- Select
to add a
new field.
The
Field Properties
window opens.
- Select the
Advanced page and clear the
Stored in Database check box.
- Select the
Properties page and select the
Read-only check box.
The
Always read-only
option is then selected by default.
- Select the
Properties page and then select the
Calculated value
check box.
- Select the down arrow to expand the
Calculated value section and select the
Expression option.
- Select
Custom Expression
.
The
Custom Expression dialog opens.
- Select the down arrow and then select a lifecycle token (example:
Stage) from the Token Selector to use in your expression.
- Publish
the Blueprint
() to commit the changes, or
save the
Blueprint () to continue making other changes.
