Is it possible to have an admin portal user be able to enter data into a property pattern?

Question

In this case the working example would be that the user would need to add a new title into a list of titles in the title property pattern

Answer 1

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility in any Web interface unless using scripts. There is built-in functionality for managing property patterns only in the Administration console.

A script is fine by me. Can you point me to the relevant script to accomplish this?

I already have a script that takes a property pattern list and copies it to a parameter list. I assume it would be similar but in reverse?

Thank you

Hello,

Have a look at the following script from our repository: https://www.adaxes.com/script-repository/add-new-allowed-property-value-to-a-property-pattern-s585.htm.

Works like a charm.

Can this script be reworked to remove a value as well? Implemented as a separate custom command/script?

Hello,

Here is the updated script.

$propertyName = "company" # TODO: modify me
$propertyPatternDN = "CN=My Pattern,CN=Property Patterns,CN=Configuration Objects,CN=Adaxes Configuration,CN=Adaxes" # TODO: modify me
$parameterName = "param-Value" # TODO: modify me

# Get parameter value
$parameterValue = $Context.GetParameterValue($parameterName)

# Bind to the Property Pattern
$userPattern = $Context.BindToObject("Adaxes://$propertyPatternDN")
$values = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$isPropertyRequired = $False
foreach ($item in $userPattern.Items)
{
    if ($item.PropertyName -ne $propertyName)
    {
        continue
    }

    $constraints =  $item.GetConstraints()
    $constraint = $constraints.GetConstraint("ADM_PROPERTYCONSTRAINTCATEGORY_VALUEFORMAT")

    # Check if new value exists
    if ($constraint.Values -notcontains $parameterValue)
    {
        return
    }

    # Get current values
    $constraint.Values | %%{[void]$values.Add($_)}
    $isPropertyRequired = $item.IsPropertyRequired

    # Remove Property Pattern item
    $userPattern.Items.Remove($item)
    break
}

# Add new value
[void]$values.Remove($parameterValue)

# Sort values
$values.Sort()

# Update Property Pattern
$item = $userPattern.Items.Create()
$item.PropertyName = $propertyName
$item.IsPropertyRequired = $isPropertyRequired

$constraints = $item.GetConstraints()
$constraint = $constraints.Create("ADM_PROPERTYCONSTRAINTTYPE_VALUERANGE")
$constraint.AreValuesDenied = $False
$constraint.Values = $values.ToArray()
$constraints.Add($constraint)
$item.SetConstraints($constraints)

# Save the changes
$item.SetInfo()
$userPattern.Items.Add($item)

Thank you, both scripts work perfectly.
