Its properties field allows to add custom properties to the Print Content Item, in the form of key-
value pairs (a JSON string).
Custom properties can be utilized for further processing in a Workflow configuration with the
Retrieve Items task. The Retrieve Items task retrieves custom properties along with the base
record information (see Retrieve Items in Workflow's Online Help).
The contentitem object can be used in any type of script. However, if you want to add
production information - such as the page, size, and position of elements after pagination - to
the properties, you have to write a Post Pagination Script (see "Post Pagination Scripts" on
page441).
Field Type Description
properties Properties
Key-value pairs containing custom properties.
Note that a property value is always stored as a string in
the database.
Example
This following code would add a property called 'myProperty' with the value 'myvalue':
contentitem.properties.myProperty = 'myvalue';
You can replace 'myProperty' and 'myvalue' with whatever name and value best suits the use
case.
If the name of the property contains a space you'll need to put it between brackets and
quotation marks:
contentitem.properties['name with spaces'] = 'value';
If the value is a number you don't need to put it between quotation marks:
contentitem.properties.custom_property = 123;
context
In a Control Script, the context object represents one context in the template.
Which contexts are available in the template can be queried using merge.template.contexts.
