Get Entity Action Advanced Customisations

  • Conditional Retrieval: Can be executed based on permission status or selection control.
  • Automatic Data Distribution to Forms: Retrieved entity information can be distributed to different elements using Set Value actions.
  • Caching: The action result can be cached using Set Variable to reduce repeated queries.

Technical Risks

  • Invalid or Missing ID: The action fails if the ID parameter is empty or incorrect.
  • IncludeAttributes / IncludeValues Performance: Data size may increase, especially if there are many attributes or values; use with caution on mobile devices.
  • Attribute Incompatibility: Ensure that the retrieved attributes are compatible with the expected data type or format.

The Get Entity action is a powerful tool in Kuika for controlling entity-focused data flows, pre-filling forms, and preparing entity details for processing. Thanks to its flexible parameter structure, it can be used for both simple detail retrieval and comprehensive data preparation tasks.
