DateTime Property in ThingTemplate

We was using 10 datetime remote properties in Thing from Thingtemplate in all services. Hereafter those properties wont receive data from device. So we planned to pass new Date() time in all services. Is there any option to set current time in all those properties directly instead of editing all services. ??

Primary Keys are Type Casting

So, I've had a problem with data table keys for a while now. When I set a number field as the primary key for a Data Shape and it gets used by a data table, the "key" field gets type-casted in a weird way. Whereas the data shape's field, say "Item", is filled with the number "10", the key field is stored as a string and the "Item" field gets type-casted that way and the resulting string ends up being "10.0". This results in problems when you try to search by the number "10", it will say that there is no such key. I've been programming around this problem, but I'm starting to get worried about future upgrades to ThingWorx causing problems for me. Is this going to be a problem for me in the future? Has it been fixed since ThingWorx 8.5? Is there a way to stop ThingWorx from adding the extra ".0"? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OI_88777861-Visitor

Hello, how can I implement a complete stop of the script so that, under some condition, the script is not interrupted, not paused, namely, it stops working (I take into account that the script is launched once, without using Autorefresh). The script is not cyclical, a full stop could happen at any moment of the script execution.

Suggestible text field in Thingworx

Hi All, I am in exploring a possibility to create Suggestible text field in TWX mashup, just like suggestion box picker in Windchill PDMLink. In simple term, as soon as user starts typing in the text field, it should start suggesting matching values. For ex:Any thought on how this can be achieved in TWX 9.2.x? Source of data for the field is external DB in our case. Thanks in advance! - Shirish
