Using toObject to convert entity to object and vice versa
Question

Hi, the toObject function is able to convert and entity to an object. Is there a way to cast back the object to the entity?

No, unfortunately there is no way to do that. Once an Object, always an Object. But feel free to vote for my Idea here :).

Hi Joachim,

You have to manually convert object to entity ,there is as such no outsystems provided function to convert the same.


Thanks,

Manish, how would you "convert" them "manually"? There is no way to do that!

Hi Kilian,

My intention to say convert manually means again you have to retrieve the object and convert this to your entity by assigning values.

Note: I haven't tried this approach but hope this will work :)


Thanks,

Manish

Manish,

It's clear you have no clue what you're talking about. Please stay out of this.
