I am attempting to return a string value to a form based on an input of a dynamic type. I am feeding the dynamic type value to an action through a data binding on the presentation layer within a vRO workflow. When I do not have a value selected, the form returns the expected "no animal selected" text value. The moment I choose a dynamic type object, the string value is cleared, and no additional text is returned.
I have ran this action from a workflow that did not call the value back to the form, and the expected Elephant name is pulled back without issue. I have also tried this action with just returning text values in both cases, and still get the same results as before. The moment a dynamic type value is selected, the action seems to just simply stop working.
For giggles, I decided to use the example A Primer on vRealize Orchestrator Dynamic Types – vBombarded to create the dynamic types to use for testing purposes. Note, I have other dynamic types objects setup, but wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had wrong in the way they were built, so I leveraged the above example.
Workflow and actions being ran from vRO 7.5.
The action is setup as follows:
input -
animal : DynamicTypes:Zoo.Elephant
code:
if(animal){
return animal.Name;
}else{
return "no animal selected";
}
The workflow is setup as follows:
input -
(DynamicTypes:Zoo.Elephant) animal
(string) externalValue
presentation layer has data binding set on the input string "externalValue" calling the action listed above with input bound as input #animal
