Configurator - Method Variables - User Defined Function call

I want to create Method Variables in Configurator Rules using the “user defined function to assign the initial value” option. When I select the “Specified” link to assign the “function,” I don’t have any selections available in the “Option List Editor” dialog that opens, even though I have many server-side UD Methods that return a string data-type for this configurator. Help and Tech Ref is thin on specifics at this point.

MethodVar

Anyone using this successfully? What am I missing?

You can set the initial value in the Document Variables window

Thanks Calvin, but I’m looking for more than a constant, and in Method Variables.

Sorry about that.

Only Server Side UD Methods can be selected.

For example, I have 3 UD Methods that return a string.

But only the Server Side one is available.

That’s why I’m confused.I have plenty of server/string methods in this configurator. I have to wonder if I’ve found a bug, but it seems more likely that I’ve done something to break this (I suppose).

FWIW I’m on version 10.1.400.23

Can you try and use the “Specified expression to assign …” and see if the UD Methods appear in the expression builder?

Yes, I did that. They’re all there. We’re working in 10.2.200.22. I hope that’s not the problem.

In the mean time, you can set the init value with the expression, like:

That’s where I’m headed, then I’ll ask about this at Insights. Thanks.
