Edit complex datatype (structure object) default values from
the Structure Type Values editor, which provides a table view that includes an expandable tree that allows access to the structures and types.
The Structure Type Values editor allows you to edit structured MBOs from various places, including personalization key default values. You can:
- Set the default value of one attribute of a complex datatype to NULL
- Set the default value of a complex datatype object to NULL
- Add a new object to a list of complex datatypes and set the object's default value
- Editing a structured type depends on the context from which you access the editor. For example:
- Personalization keys – if creating a new personalization key that includes a structured datatype as the Type, select the ellipses (...) next to the Default values field. For existing personalization keys, right-click the personalization key and select Properties, and select the ellipses (...) next to the Default values field.
- Attributes – from the Properties view, select the Attributes Mapping tab. If the attribute is a structured type, select the corresponding ellipses (...) in the Default value field.
- Others – similar to attributes, if datatype supports structured types, and allows you to set default values, select the ellipses (...) in the Default value field.
- Make changes from the editor as needed.
The editor provides a table view that includes an expandable tree that allows access to the structured datatype. The table view includes these columns:
- Structure – the expandable root of the structure, which includes all structure members.
- Type – the datatype of each of the structure members. A member can be a simple or structured type.
- Values – the default value for each of the structure members. Modify changes for individual members, not at the root of the structure. Changes made to individual members are reflected in a comma separated list of the root.
- Use the navigation buttons (Up and Down) to move structures. You cannot move individual members within a structure. Use the Add, Delete, and Delete All buttons to add or delete members or entire structures.
- Click Ok when finished.
