Summary

With the plugin “SC::Reference – send specific value of a reference” you can send certain values from references. You can seperate the values with a separator between the fields and between the references.

You also can configure from which position the value should begin and how much elements from the value should be expensed.

Example

Insert the attribute and select the function “SC::Reference – send specific value of a reference (deprecated)” in the dropdown menu.

Click on the red marked button for the extended settings, a new window opens.
Here you set your value that should be transfered to your system.

 

 

Value Description Example

attribute (fixed name for a cs defaultatributte); use a separator for more attributes (please see below).		 Label,142

or “MAMPath” for the path of MAM assets

Delimiter between references Here you configure which separator you want to use between the references.  |
