Differentiating variables with the same name in the function language

[MatLudlam]

Help and advice appreciated.

I have a new entity type called Project hung off my Opportunity entity. The relationship is such that each Opportunity can have many Projects.

In the script language within BPM I have created a new Project entity. This works fine. What I want to do is have the Project.name attribute have a calculated value which is derived from the Opportunity.Name.

This is what I would like to do is something like the following (but I appreciate that this will not work):

Project.name = string\concatenate(Opportunity.name , '-Cash-Collection');

How do i achieve this? I am sure that there is a function but I am not sure which one.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please use 'name' instead of 'Project.name'. Could you provide screenshots with your BPM logic and configs? Perhaps for achieving your purposes, you need something from this scope https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...mula-functions.

Thanks for the help, I now have this working. I had tried using

entity\attribute('name')

which is described as "An ATTRIBUTE value of a target record." but this seemed to be the wrong target (it was the newly created record not the BPM Target record.

I now have the code below which works perfectly; thanks for the help.
