How to enable "GeneratePassword" BuildIn Function in Outsystems 11
Question
Mobile

Hi,

I am creating a functionality to reset the password of a user and send the temp password to the user email for login.

I can see there is a build in function "GeneratePassword" to create a random string as password. But i am not able to see that in my studio and i did check in the dependencies as well.

Can someone help me locate this function or how to enable it. Thanks

HI 

Hope you are doing well.

Because your application type is mobile you can't use Service Action in the expression.

Kind regards,
