Hi,

In Board 14.3 there is a new substitution formula called @ProcedureID.

Can someone give an example of how we can use this new substitution formula?

thanks

Hi @Robert-Jan van Kuppeveld , @Maik Burghardt ,

a simple example would be to use it in a filename used for extract/reload operations—instead of @user. The procedure id will be unambiguous per call and inherited by subs (i.e. call procedures).

Helmut

This one is great to ensure a dedicated path and folder in case of extract/reload per each execution of the procedure.

Hi Leone,

Thanks for your reply, but could you explain this in an example?

thanks

Hi Robert-Jan,

You can find the explanation in this section of help.board

https://help.board.com/v14/docs/other-enhancements-14-3#procedureid-substitution-formula

You can used @ProcedureID in a large number of steps in a procedure. Or in the REST API calls.

Kind Regards,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I need to admit I still don't understand. I read the explanation however I think an actual example would be good.

Hi,

Thanks, I agree with Maik, I read it a couple of times, but I still don't understand exactly how to use it.
