Introduction

The Property Assistant is a new feature in Joget DX 8, that allows you to insert Hash Variables, Regular Expressions and URLs in any form element, UI element or list.

The Property Assistant allows you to choose a hash variable's attributes from a select box (Figure 2). This also applies to URLs (Figure 3).

You can also insert Nested Hash Variables easily using the Property Assistant by clicking on the desired attribute that will include the nested variable and then clicking back on the variable list to choose a variable to insert. (See Figure 4)

If you choose to show the optional chunks of Hash Variables or URLs, you can edit the App ID (Figure 5) and Escape Mode (Figure 6) (and even a Record's primary key depending on the hash variable used).
