Help about the block: Map Values ?

[Hit]

Does anyone know how to use the Action block: Map Values?

• I had read the help instruction but didn't understand.

• It can be useful.

• I'd like to use it.

Here is the automagic help:

Thank you!

The fastest way to learn it is to have something you want to achieve. We learn better while we need it. You can look at my index, section scripting - Map and list, to learn more : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6993

We usually use map object just like a dictionary. We find a word inside dictionary and get the translation as the result. Usage case such as :
- translate word, "virus" >> a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism
- Getting price from goods, "tissue" >> $5
- get product name from code, "123000456" >> apple
- getting date from the stored value, "birthday" >> 29 February 2020
- access other map, "attributes" >> return nested map object under this key

I never use map values action anymore nowadays. Because it is easier to use map object inside script. Look at here for simple map related function : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7723
