Change field properties using API

Adrian Ursu

Hi guys,

I have a situation where I need to set some properties of the field using the API.
And by properties I mean mostly Required, Hidden and ReadOnly.

I know that some of these properties are not stored in the database but rather in the GlobalSettings.

Can I adjust the value of these properties using the API?

Is there any other way to attach custom properties to fields (ProductFields, GroupFields or ProductCategoryFields)?

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

The mentioned properties are not setable on the field object themselves. Ordinary product fields do have IsRequired/IsReadOnly/IsHidden, but the values are not setable.

So you need to set through GlobalSettings. In this example I have a product field named "Measure", where Required is set to True:

Dynamicweb.Configuration.SystemConfiguration.Instance.SetValue("/Globalsettings/Settings/Ecom/Required/ProductFields/Measure", "True");

Hi Morten,
Thank you for the suggestion. As long as I can control it in a programmatic way, I am fine.

Thank you,

Adrian
