Assign an attribute to and elements in a record list

Assign an attribute to <ul> and <li> elements in a record list

Question

How can I create a list with special attributes for <ul> and <li> elements from a record list? The result must be:

<ul specialattribute="ulValue">
 <li attribute="liValue">List item content</li>
 <li attribute="liValue">List item content</li>
 <li attribute="liValue">List item content</li>
</ul>

Outsystems however, creates the following code when defining special attributes to the record list (Line Separator: Bullets) and its list items:


 <ul>
 <li>
 
 <li>A1</li>
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 <li>A2</li>
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 <li>A3</li>
 
 </li>
 </ul>


Instead of giving the <ul> and <li> elements a special attribute, the special attribute is assigned to a newly created element. Currently I define the special attributes in "Extended Properties" of a list record and the expression(s) it contains. The attribute specialattribute I used in the example can be any desired attribute.

don't get me started on the span-tags :/

in any case, set the list-seperator to none and create the <li> with an expression (ans set escape-content to no ofcourse)
don't forget to add the ul as well! (probably with an if-clause )
beware those have to be inside the listrecords, otherwise you still end up with some annoying spans where you don't want them.
