If Value or Expression is empty, the value of the Data Item will be cleared
You can set assignment settings (updating of values) to multiple Data Items in one Step
If you set multiple assignment settings those will be executed concurrently, so there is no order of updating
Data Item references are inserted in Expression Language using Field Name
Format of Automatic Assignment
Numerical information and date/time information can also be formatted and output as a format-specified character string using Formatter
The expressions of Data items to be stored – Title, String-type, Select-type, Date-type, and Datetime-type – are along with the implement of SpEL (Spring Expression Language).
- Title and String-type Data Item use “4.3.18. Expression templating“, which means the content of “#{}” is evaluated as SpEL.
- For Select-type, the value of the update result is treated as the choice ID
