I know this must be easy to do, but I just can’t find or figure out the syntax. I’m looking for an equivalent function or method in perspective to build a dynamic props path so that I can get the value through scripting. This is the hard coded props path I want self.getSibling(“Table”).props.sele…

It depends on the structure of the data object of the table, but something like the following should work for you: someVariable = 'OrderId' self.getSibling("Table").props.data[0][someVariable] You just need to make sure the table’s data structure doesn’t change, and that the key you supply is a St…

If someVariable represents a property name, you want to use python’s built-in getattr() function to perform the retrieval. Something like this: getattr(self.getSibling(“Table”).props.selection.data[0], SomeVariable) In python, bracket syntax only works with subscript lookup in lists/arrays, or ke…

I knew there had to be a simple way to do that. Exactly what I was looking for. Both methods worked by the way. Not sure why the first time I tried “self.getSibling(“Table”).props.data[0][someVariable]” it didn’t work. Thanks!

[image] jsteward: Both methods worked by the way. Bracket syntax for a property must be a Perspective data type enhancement. Nice.

One of the Devs recently modified the wrapper objects to behave more like Python datatypes, so you access them (for the most part) as you would a python datatype. This prevents users from encountering instances where they get an Array (or ArrayList?) object but can’t iterate through it with a python…
