Object creator : Move property from source to target

We have an object creator rule to create a new object starting from a source object.
We linked the source object into a property on the target and now want to move property A from the source object to property B on the target object.

We tried to do it using a dynamic value from Source Object.Property A, but that doesn't seem to work.

Any idea on how to achieve this with an example.
The documentation on the CK is somewhat complex and could have some example configurations to make it easier to understand.

  • 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:
