Question
Fetch value of property from clipboard
I have values in a property of pagelist type which is populated by userinput data. Now I need to fetch the clipboard values of these inputs at runtime.
Have provided a screenshot. The value field is the input and need to fetch its corresponding clipboard data. the inputs could be
pagename.propertyname
.propertyname
pagename.pxresults().propertyname
.proplist.property
Any suggestions/solutions. Thank you.

I recommend you implement an Activity which has Property-Set step with examples of each of your 4 different patterns in it, then once use "View Java" from the Actions menu to inspect what Java code Pega generates to resolve each of those four expressions.
From that you will likely be able to produce a block of Java code that does what you need.
Look to then implement that in a Function rule so that you are not putting transient state onto the Parameter Page. Use local variables in your Function to hold interim values not required outside of the function.
Finally, have a look at how OTB Functions like PropertyExists and PropertyHasValue handle the different permutations of page and property references, there might be something to learn from there.
Any suggestions please... tried using the below code;
ClipboardPage cbPage; String pageName = tools.getParamValue("pageNm"); if(!pageName.equals("")){ cbPage = tools.findPage(pageName); } else{ cbPage = tools.getStepPage(); }
tools.putParamValue("cbPage", cbPage);
String propName = tools.getParamValue("propNm");
ClipboardProperty cbProp = cbPage.getProperty(propName);
Queries:
The step in Italics is actually adding the propName as a property to steppage, but it should not happen.
