Metadata Card - Set Employee property automatically from the creator information

LeenaK2014

I have a property Employee which uses the built-in list Users.

Now I would like to have that when new object is created, the Employee comes automatically from the creator of the object.

I have added the information into the Metadata card like the information below but it still does not give the value automatically.

Also I have tried the setting where ForceSetValue is true but it does not work either.

What is wrong with this?

{ "Group": "XXX", "Property": "1482", "Priority": 500, "SetValue": { "Mode": "Dynamic", "DynamicValue": "%CURRENT_USER%" }, "ForceSetValue": false }

    Hello,

    You need to configure a custom placeholder:

    Hi.

    I created the placeholder but it is still not working Disappointed

    Here are my placeholder definitions.

    {
    "Group": "XXX",
    "Property": "1482",
    "Priority": 1000,
    "SetValue": {
        "Mode": "Dynamic",
        "DynamicValue": "%CurrentUserEmployee%"
    },
    "ForceSetValue": false
}

{
    "Name": "CurrentUserEmployee",
    "ObjectType": "MF.OT.xx",
    "Property": {
        "Property": "MF.PD.yy",
        "Value": {
            "Mode": "Static",
            "TypedValue": {
                "dataType": "lookup",
                "value": {
                    "lookup": {
                        "item": {
                            "user": "{BA1BCA7E-026B-4260-9D73-2AE593052F6C}"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

    "ObjectType": "MF.OT.xx" - this should be the Employee OT

    "Property": "MF.PD.yy" - this should be the PD that points to the User Account.

    otherwise it looks good. it should work.

    I added the Employee OT and the User account PD but it still does not work. The username does not come automatically.

    [
    {
        "Name": "CurrentUserEmployee",
        "ObjectType": "103",
        "Property": {
            "Property": "1045",
            "Value": {
                "Mode": "Static",
                "TypedValue": {
                    "dataType": "lookup",
                    "value": {
                        "lookup": {
                            "item": {
                                "user": "{BA1BCA7E-026B-4260-9D73-2AE593052F6C}"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
]

    Your destination PD must take information for Employee OT, and should not be directly the username.

    So  "Property": "1482" should be the PD that point to the list of employees and not users.

    If it is like that, and still does not work, I don't know how to guide you further. This works perfectly for me.

    Maybe you have other rules that overwrites this one?
