What is Hash Variable?

Hash Variables gives users greater flexibility and freedom in accessing useful information or relevant runtime values from the system.

A hash variable is a special hash-escaped keyword that can be used in

  • Form Builder
  • Datalist Builder
  • Userview Builder
  • Supported plugin configuration properties
  • Activity name in Workflow Designer
  • External Form URL when mapping an activity to an external form

to return the value of some useful runtime variables from Joget components.

Nested Hash Variable

#prefix.{prefix.variableKey}#

 

Example:

 

#date.{envVariable.dateFormat}#
#user.{variable.username}.firstName#
