Hi,

I did it using Pega 7

use .setQualifier(String, String) if exists in 6.x

and your qualifier should be dynamic (not design-time) in the property. To make the qualifier dynamic, don't put any value in the field next to the qualifier name. Leave it blank. (This is from version 4.x)

Note: I am not using your DestPropVal property

<%

ClipboardProperty cp_active = tools.getActive();

ClipboardPage pg_parentPage = cp_active.getParentPage();

ClipboardProperty SourcePropertyRef = pg_parentPage.getProperty(".SourceProperty");

if(SourcePropertyRef.getStringValue().equals("true")) {

cp_active.setQualifier("pyDecimalPrecision", "2");

} else {

cp_active.setQualifier("pyDecimalPrecision", "3");

}

%>

Then if you want to submit the value you can fill in in the UI then add something like this:

<input type=text name="<pega:reference name='$this-name' />"  id="<pega:reference name='$this-Definition(pyPropertyName)'  mode='NORMAL'/>">

Tomorrow I will post another way of doing this "ish" using OOTB features. No coding.

Still in Pega 7

Hello Damien -

Can you post the OOTB way to do this in Pega 7?

Hi,
You could have 2 temporary variables one with a qualifier 2 digit and one with 3.
Have the 2 properties in a section with visibility based on the boolean flag.
A declare expression to set the real decimal to one or the other temporary variable.


Another way of doing it without temporary variables is to use a Data transform that will format the decimal value.
Playing with events you can call the DT on change of the flag and the value of the property.
