Merge Document Fields
This script demonstrates how to merge the values of document fields.
When you extract data from a repository, the connector can produce documents that have multiple values for a single field, for example:
#DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="attachment.txt" #DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="image.jpg" #DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="document.pdf"
This script shows how to merge the values of these fields, so that the values are contained in a single field, for example:
#DREFIELD ATTACHMENTS="attachment.txt, image.jpg, document.pdf"
Example Script
function handler(config, document, params) onefield(document,"ATTACHMENT","ATTACHMENTS") return true; end function onefield(document,existingfield,newfield) if document:hasField(existingfield) then local values = { document:getFieldValues(existingfield) } local newfieldvalue="" for i,v in ipairs(values) do if i>1 then newfieldvalue = newfieldvalue ..", " end newfieldvalue = newfieldvalue..v end document:addField(newfield,newfieldvalue) end return true; end
