Using extended propertiy/session variable from SF Runtime config supported ?

Hi,

The Default runtime configuration extended properties are the default for all other runtime configurations. This means that any extended properties set for the default runtime configuration are also present for all other specified configurations. And it also includes the value.

Changing a value of an extended property in the default will also automatically change it for all other configurations unless an override had taken place beforehand.

So it is intended behavior but I can understand this is confusing for the first time.

Do you perhaps have a suggestion for how we can notify developers that this behavior will occur when changing parts of the default runtime configuration?

Hi Mark,

thanks for your reply on this.

I think developers will be ‘noticed’ that the default setting is in place for custom configurations or that the custom configuration has a different setting compared to default. In that last  situation the value is ‘bold’. 

But, my issue is regarding the fact that if de default is set to value 1 and the custom configuration is set to 2. When running both configurations then, they both have the extended value set to 1.

Ah, so they do appear to have a different value but in testing they don't. We can check the values the GUI receives. Could you try querying the following and share the result?:

2021.3

select *
from extended_property_overview
where project_id = '...'
  and project_vrs_id = '...'
  and runtime_configuration_id = 'e_test'

This should show the value (2) that you have specified for the session.fkCompany.

hi Mark,

adjusted your query slightly and hereby the results.

So the value is correctly stored in the DB.

Maybe this is telling us something: 🤔

Detail info for the red crosses is:
“An item with the same key has already been added.” 

TCP ticket created accordingly and reference to this topic added.

Thanks.
