Get Property Definitions by Template

[jmay1]

I am trying to figure out how to get property definitions for a template. I've tried creating my own service with "TemplateName" as an input using this snippet:

var params = {
      category: undefined /* STRING */,
      type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,
      dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
};

     // result: INFOTABLE dataShape: PropertyDefinition
     var result = ThingTemplates[TemplateName]GetPropertyDefinitions(params);

But it is returning a blank infotable, I'm assuming because my parameters are all undefined?

The only way I can seem to get a list of properties is by ThingName.

It seems to be a bug, becouse the same for services works:

var params = {
  category: undefined /* STRING */,
  type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,
  dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
};
// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: ServiceDefinition
var result = ThingTemplates["wupUtilityUseThermalTT"].GetServiceDefinitions(params);

Either if you do a GetMetadata no Property definitions

var result = ThingTemplates["wupUtilityUseThermalTT"].GetMetadata();

Use GetInstancePropertyDefinitions instead of GetPropertyDefinitions.

I don't see that service anywhere?

I don't know if the service is documented, but in the script editor you can find it in the Entities tab after you select your ThingTemplate.
