Attribute Management: Calculated Attribute Formulas Enhancement
Product: Windchill
Release: 11.0 M020
Benefit
New function has been added allowing attributes with special characters in their names to be used in calculated attribute formulas.
Additional Details
Previously, attributes whose internal names included certain special characters, such as a dash (–), dollar sign ($), or square brackets ([ ]), could not be included in calculated attribute formulas, as those characters had other meanings in the formula syntax.
Now, such attribute names can be wrapped in the characters ${} and used within formulas for calculated attributes. For example, an attribute with the internal name my[very$complex]-attribute can be wrapped as follows: ${my[very$complex]-attribute}. The wrapped attribute name can then be used in a formula.
