Auto populate property value in repeating view in constellation
Hello
We have a pagelist which is configured as embedded data and shown in UI as repeating view.
The requirement is, repeating view has property as ID which should be auto generate based on value stored in data type table. Every time we add a record value to fetch and incremented by +1 and stored back in table and shown in UI.
Ex: Value stored in table is C-01, then next time when i add a record in repeating view , the ID value should be C-02 and it should get saved to table as well.
Do we have any option of running data transform or activity in constellation while adding records in repeating view/table or any other alternate approach which could be feasible.

Hi @Gautham M,
For this requirement we can use DSS to generate ID in activity.
Steps to generate ID
- Create a DSS to Set initial value for the ID
- Create an activity
- Loop the PageList
- Get the ID value from the DSS (by using function) and add Increment ie +1 in Property-Set
- Set the Incremented ID value to Data modal ID field to Save in data modal
- Obj-save

@Mohd Qizer Uddin Thanks for the reply.
The main question is how to run activity or DT while adding records in repeating view or table. By default pega provides Add button on table/repeating views. So while adding records using this add button, do we have an option of running DT or Activity.
