Get Entity Attribute Value in Dynamic Form

1. Defining the Dynamic Form Element

• A Dynamic Form element is added to the application interface.
• This form dynamically loads attributes based on the EAV structure.

2. Define Action

• After the attribute whose value you want to retrieve is loaded in the form, select the following to retrieve this value with an action:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick / OnChange / Custom Trigger > EAV > Dynamic Form > Get Entity Attribute Value in Dynamic Form.

• Parameter configuration:
  
  • Dynamic Form Component → Form name
  • AttributeId → Symbol Picker > Fixed (GUID) or dynamic source

3. Using the Action Result

• The action result can be used in a Set Value, If Condition, etc.
• For example, the retrieved value can be written to a Text element or transferred to another process.

In a form, the user fills in fields such as ‘Salary’ and ‘Number of Working Days’. The application wants to calculate the ‘Daily Earnings’ value.

1. The user fills in the form.
2. The ‘Calculate Daily Earnings’ button is clicked.
3. The Get Entity Attribute Value in Dynamic Form actions run with the relevant attribute IDs.
4. The results are obtained and the calculation is performed with the Divide action.
5. The result is displayed to the user.

• Dynamic Attribute ID Retrieval: Attribute IDs can be retrieved dynamically from the result of another action.
• Automatic Retrieval After Form Loading: You can automatically retrieve attribute values when the page is opened and display them on the screen.
• Multiple Action Chain: Comprehensive data processing can be performed by using Get Entity Attribute Value in Dynamic Form for multiple attributes one after another.

Technical Risks

• If the AttributeId is Incorrect or Not Found in the Form: If the attribute with the specified ID is not found in the form, the value cannot be retrieved.
• Data Format Compatibility: The attribute value must be in a format compatible with the element or process it will be used in.

The ‘Get Entity Attribute Value in Dynamic Form’ action in the Kuika platform allows you to read data entered by users in dynamic forms on an attribute basis. This flexibility provides a powerful foundation for creating conditional operations, calculations, validations, and customised data flows.
