Question

Getting Object ID as String

1

Hi, Is there anyway to get the Object ID (Mendix embedded ID for each object) as a string using microflow without calling Java action? And could I retrieve an object using the Object ID, ex: [ID = '1234556644']?

If you specifically state you do not want to use Java then I am wondering why you want the technical id anyway.

I would suggest adding an autonumber id attribute and use that instead.

As far as I know, you can only get the GUID through Java. What is the problem with calling a Java action, the CommunityCommons has a Java function GetGUID?

Mentioned by some other dude in some other post:

return String.valueOf(this.par_imendixobject.getId().getGuid());
