When you later create a group of this type (which must be public or restricted), you can also specify values for the defined attributes. getgroupattribute() cannot be used to define a column of process report data or in a process event. Examples You can copy and paste these examples into the Expression Rule Designer to see how this works. Returning the creation date of a custom group: getgroupattribute(pv!myGroup,"dateCreated") where pv!myGroup is a process variable holding a Group data type, which is a custom public group of type "personalgroups", and the group type has an attribute called dateCreated returns 5/9/06 Feature compatibility The table below lists this function's compatibility with various features in Appian.
