Custom User Defined Properties

[ericbUU8RW]

I am trying to output some Custom User Defined Properties. I have defined them like so

WORKORDERNUMBER: {
    title      : "DE WO NUMBER",
    description: "Work Order Number",
    //group: 0,
    type       : "string",
    value      : "stuff",
    //scope      : "post"
  },

but when I try to output them like this

writeComment("WORK ORDER NO.: " + properties.WORKORDERNUMBER);

I get

(WORK ORDER NO.: OBJECT OBJECT           )

 I have changed other post with User Defined Properties but the were structured differently. The have a "user-defined properties" block and a "user-defined property definitions". This post only has the "user-defined properties".

Any suggestions?

Hello @ericbUU8RW .

In order to interrogate the value of the property, you must use the getProperty function.

Hello, @ericbUU8RW .

For new post properties format you need to use special function `getProperty` to get its value instead of specification. So, your example should look like this:

writeComment("WORK ORDER NO.: " + getProperty(properties.WORKORDERNUMBER));
