SetFlavor - programmatically set the value of a flavor within a project or task

Description

The SetFlavor function is used to programmatically set the value of a custom field (Flavor) within a project or task. It is often used in workflows to dynamically update custom data fields.

SetFlavor is particularly helpful when values generated or calculated in a workflow should be automatically written to a Flavor.

Syntax

SetFlavor(fieldName, fieldValue)

Arguments

Return Types

The function does not provide a direct return value. It is used to store a value in a custom field (Flavor).

Examples

Process(
  SetFlavor("ProjectStatus", "In Progress")
)

Process(
  SetFlavor("CostOverview", sumAll("Costs", true))
)

createButton(
  1,
  "Update Project Status",
  "Sets the project status to 'Completed'",
  "Process(
    SetFlavor('ProjectStatus', 'Completed')
  )",
  "",
  "",
  "",
  "The project status has been successfully updated.",
  "",
  "check-circle"
)

Notes

• Accuracy of field names: The Flavor name must exactly match the name defined in Smenso.
• Consider data types: The value should match the data type of the Flavor (e.g. text, number, date).
• Combining with other functions: SetFlavor can be combined with other functions like if, sumAll, or format to create dynamic values.
• Using the Process() function: To avoid errors such as "Can not execute async functions outside async context", SetFlavor must be used inside a Process() function.
