Need to fetch repeated valued User attribute using DFC

Question

Hello Experts,

Could any one of you help me here?

In my application a repeated valued user attribute is defined ext_approver. It can store maximum of three approvers in that column.

I need to fetch those three values using DFC. Which data type should I use for storing the values and which DFC method shall I use for fetching the values?

Thanks in Advance,

It depends on how you retrieve the values.

//If values are retrieved from IDfCollection, Use
idfColl.getRepeatingString("ext_approver", index);

//If values are retrieved from IDfPersistentObject, Use
idfPerObj.getRepeatingString("ext_approver", index)

// Based on the dataType of the attr, You can change the above method to getRepeatingInt, getRepeatingId ..

Use the below query to identify the data_type of the ext_approver attribute

select domain_type from dmi_dd_attr_info
where attr_name = 'ext_approver'
and type_name = '<custom_type>'

0 represents Boolean

1 as Integer

2 as String

3 as ID

4 as Time/Date

5 as Double
