Hi,
I am looking for a piece of code that – given an Item, and
the name of one of its properties (like ‘buy_make’) returns the name of the list
(of ItemType = ‘List’).
so for example – for (ItemType = ‘Part’ ) and (property = ‘make_buy’)
returns the name of the list (‘make buy’).
Alternatively – I am looking to get the “Label” of a list item, instead of
its value. For example : The values in make/buy list are: ‘M’ & ‘B’, and
the labels are ‘Make’ & ‘Buy’.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Sagi,
This should do it:
var inn = this.getInnovator();
var propertyName = "make_buy";
var thisItemType = "Part";
var listNam = getListName(propertyName, thisItemType);
function getListName(propertyName, thisItemType){
var propAML1 = "<Item type="Property" action="get" select="data_type,data_source">";
propAML1 += "<source_id><Item type="ItemType" action="get"><name>";
propAML1 += thisItemType;
propAML1 += "</name></Item></source_id>";
propAML1 += "<name>";
propAML1 += propertyName;
propAML1 += "</name></Item>";
var propRel1 = inn.newItem();
propRel1.loadAML(propAML1);
propRel1 = propRel1.apply();
return propRel1.getProperty("data_source","");
}
Hope this helps,
Brian.
