Bean Shell Formatter  allows you to write custom Java code to transform values on the datalist column.

This is a new feature in Joget Workflow v6.

NameDescription
Script

Script in Java.

The entire script is defaulted to be applied to every row in such column, hence user does not need to perform looping to apply transformation to every row.

To customize this behaviour, user need to handle datalist, column, row variables appropriately.

Injected variables available for consumption are:-

  • datalist - org.joget.apps.datalist.model.DataList
  • column - org.joget.apps.datalist.model.DataListColumn
  • row - Object in DataListCollection (org.joget.apps.datalist.model.DataListCollection) returned by DataListBinder (org.joget.apps.datalist.model.DataListBinder).
    To retrieve the property value from Object row, use this service method: DataListService.evaluateColumnValueFromRow(Object row, String propertyName)
  • value - String

Returns a String.

return value + "append this text to every column value";

 

It is also possible to inject hash variables into the values.

return value + " #currentUser.firstName#";
