Object creator : Move property from source to target

Doesn't it work like that?

If not try the same with (if it is a copy rule):

But you say move from Source to Target, I don't think Object Creator can remove the link on the source..

I tried it like that, but it doesn't seem to work.
The first Set Property is my reference to the source object and then afterwards I set properties like your example.

With moving, I mean that in the source it is Property A and in target it needs to be in Property B.
The property can remain as is in the source object.

You also tried "Post Set Properties"?

It is a Create rule currently.
My understanding of Post Set is that these are only set after that the user Create the object (with a metadatacard for creation, in this case)

"Property setting rules that allow specified values to be set for the target objects. The values are set once all objects of the copy set have been created. Only applicable for copy rules."

Try it with a copy rule instead (should give you the same possibilities as create rule) and "Post Set Properties".. I guess in your case the property linking the source object is not yet set..

Thanks for the suggestion.

But even then, it is only filled in after the full creation of the object.

We will solve it with custom code then

Hello,

I have exactly same problem. I want to copy a property A from the source object to a property B in target object. Neither Create or Copy rule seem to support this.
Also I can't get it working with post set properties.

For example:

Contract to project. Once the contract is signed, a project is started. I would like to copy from Contract."Contract value" to Project."Project value".

If this is possible somehow, that would be really good. Because if not, I need to separately create VAF application for the copying, and UIExt just for the button... Gets really complicated.

Have you tried using Managed Properties? If the project contains a reference to the contract it was created from, you should be able to create an auto-calculated property rule that gets its value from Contract.Contract value.

Reference from the target object to the source object in Object Creator:

Auto-calculation rule copying the value from a related object in Managed Properties:

Hi,

you can use Extension Kit module Object Creation and add or remove properties from source to the created object. Here's the documentation and use cases: unitfly.com/.../

Kind regards,
