Hi,

I wanted to reset the value of description while one property of the thing changed. I used subscription, and set the DataChange to execute the script.

But the Application log showed that the property description is read-only. Is there any way that I can do the job?

Thanks

Hi,

To clarify your question, did you make a property named "description"? And you added a subscription for a datachange event of it, right?

If so, can you share your setting for the property and a script for subscription?

Hi Daniel,

The "description" I talk about is thing's description. When we create a thing, we should input name, description, template, thingshape for the thing.

I want to reset the thing's description, when a property named "nickname " changes. I used a subscription to do that. For example, when the value of "nickname" is set to "My First Device ", the thing's description is set to "My First Device".
