Any method for converting component String Value into UUID Object within query?

Support
#1

Is there any method for converting String Value of UUID that entered in textField component directly into UUID Object within datasource query?

For example:
select e from practice$WorkOrder e
where e.defaultMachine.id = [ … turning :component$… into UUID object. ]

“e.defaultMachine.id” is an UUID object.

Wonder if there’s anyway to turn some UUID in String format obtained from Screen Component like:
:component$machineIDField
into a UUID object comparable with e.defaultMachine.id

Current we are able to adapt :custom parameter in query. But we are wondering whether there’s any way to perform it by :component$…

Thanks

No, there is no such method. So you have to add a value listener to the component programmatically and refresh the datasource with appropriately converted parameters. Probably this is what you have done already.

Konstantin,
Thanks for the confirmation .
We are using custom param in this case.
