Accessing State Definition Style Information via Service

[MA8731174]

Hi ThingWorx Community,

I’m working with a State Definition (project.States.SD) where each state (e.g. taskCreated, taskAssigned, taskInProgress, etc.) has its own display‐style (colors, icons, shapes) configured in Composer:

Right now, to apply those styles at runtime I’ve been hard‑coding the color/icon mappings in my mashup scripts. What I’d really like is to dynamically retrieve the full style definition (all state keys, display names, style palettes, icons, etc.) via a service call.

My questions:

1. Is there a built‑in ThingWorx service (for example under DefinitionServices or MetadataManager) that returns the complete style configuration for a given State Definition?

2. If not, is there a recommended pattern or existing code snippet for querying a State Definition’s metadata (including style properties) at runtime?

Any pointers, sample code or best‑practice guidance would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
