How to Update Objects Irrespective of types(Without type as input) using Latest DFC 7.x ?

Hi,

Is it possible to update an object's attribute through DFC without knowing their type (Especially Custom types)?

I know there is a old way of doing it like the one below.

session.apiSet("set",r_object_id+",my_custom_attribute","value_to_be_updated");

session.apiExec("save",r_object_id);

So, in the above code, whatever may be the type, if we provide the custom attribute name right, the value will be updated. Note that we have not specified the object type here.

Is there a similar way in the latest DFC 7.x to achieve the same function?

There are comparable dfc api():

setString(), setDate(), setRepeatingString(), etc

I suggest you download the DFC javadocs and review the API methods available for IDfTypedObject.

You can use IDfTypedObject object or IDfSysObject, which will cover all your custom types that are subtype of it, and use the methods as Johnny suggested.
