Get Attribute

1. Defining the Action in UI Design

• Open your project on the Kuika platform.
• Go to the UI Design module.
• Open the screen where you want to view the attribute information.
• For example, create a button named ‘Get Attribute Information’.

• To make it work when clicked: + ADD ACTION > OnClick > EAV > Attribute > Get Attribute action.

2. Configure the action parameter

• Id: Symbol Picker > Fixed > Guid or Symbol Picker > Component > Text Input (selected attribute) or Symbol Picker > Action Result > AttributeList can be selected.

3. Using the results

The information returned by the Get Attribute action can be displayed in other components (e.g., Label, Text, Info Box) or used in other actions (e.g., condition, validation, update).

An admin panel displays a user-defined attribute list. The user wants to view the details of an attribute in the list.

• The user selects the attribute name.
• The selected attribute ID is sent to the Get Attribute action.
• The action returns information such as Name, DataType, and Description to the user.
  

• Conditional Display: Attribute information can be displayed based on specific user roles.
• Form Filling: Information returned by Get Attribute can be automatically filled into Dynamic Form fields (e.g., in an update scenario).
• Error Management: If an invalid ID is entered, the system can display an informational message to the user.

Technical Risks

• Invalid ID: If the ID parameter is entered incorrectly, the system cannot retrieve the attribute information. In this case, informative messages such as ‘Attribute not found’ should be displayed to the user.
• Beta Version Risk: The action is still in beta; unstable behaviour may occur in some scenarios.
• Empty Result: Deleted or inaccessible attributes may return an empty result.

The Get Attribute action is an effective tool for retrieving detailed information about attributes created in accordance with the EAV structure on the Kuika platform. It can be used to make attribute management in your applications dynamic and user-centric. Despite being in beta, it provides secure and flexible usage when carefully configured.
