Can't set Parameters outside the "ECA Parameters" collection

Created on 20 March 2023, over 1 year ago
Updated 5 August 2023, 11 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The "Get Parameter" action is able to read any parameter, no matter if it is global, or on a specific content type.
The "Set Parameter" action can however only influence the "ECA parameters" collection.
In my use case, I would need to be able to set a parameter value on a content type through ECA.

I highly appreciate the flexibility that ECA combined with parameters offers, however this feature would still be much appreciated :)

Best regards,
Daniel

    Could you maybe provide some details about your case, so that I'm able to understand why this would make sense?

    One key concept of Parameters is that it guarantees availability in a specific format / parameter type. Changing a parameter value on runtime could lead to unexpected consequences. When it's about something dynamic on runtime, actions like "Token: set value" provided by eca_base would be preferable. Are you using a certain type of parameter that cannot be replaced by "Token: set value"?

    In case you need to persist a parameter value on runtime, and it's a simple parameter type (like a string or formatted text), you could also try to use "Config: write" that is provided by the eca_config module.
