how to get any BO data value in custom javascript/render

[swiftinitpvtltd]

how to get any BO data value in custom javascript/render? I can only get <<LoggedInUser.>> or <<SystemSettings.>> values in my js or render script. If I have BO called mycustomBO I need to get one item Find mycustomBO where ID=23 and then get its mycustomBO.Column2 value in js or render script.

Only way I know to do this would be have a proc saying

FIND mycustomBO WHERE (mycustonBO.ID='23')
INSERT mycustomBO IN LoggedInRegularUser.ps_mycustomBO

then <<LoggedInRegularUser.ps_mycustomBO.Column2>>

If you have the object in context there might be some way, but I haven't found it.. It will be interesting to follow this thread

When I use this in menu render js it says value is not defined- value is test or the actual value in the column and then it says
testvalue is not defined or testvalue1 is not...

in render-
<<LoggedInSystemUser.Column2>>

I'm not familiar with custom javascript/render, but is it possible in your scenario to have a process which find the BO.attribute info you need to use and place it in a LoggedInRegularUser.attribute?

Thanks for this suggestion. I have the data like what you explained but I need that data as decision maker at render and then do something at render in js. I can access this object but never saw any sample <<BO.columndata>> in render or js. I could access it in html.

this is in a Grid, correct?

If you want to get a value of an attribute of a business object from the SERVER in your custom Javascript you can so this:

var action = new AwareApp_GetAttributeValueAction (objectName, objectId, attributeName, null, null, function (value) {
/** Do something with the received value */
});
action.run ();

Check out the code of this action in postFormData.js

This works just fine. Thank you.
