BuiltinActions :: RenameEntry - Rename entry

The action is provided in order to change the key value for the selected entry. The action is part of the default context menu ( ...more ) for lists and trees and is shown when the collection defined in the data source or for the current region is ordered and is available in write mode.

The action has the same effect as updating key component values in en edit form, however, it is more transparent for the user. The action pops up with a key value dialog in order to edit the new key value.

Component values for multiple component keys must be separated by ',', ';' or '|'. Component values containing one of the separator characters must be as string values enclosed in apostrophes (single or double).


// key value examples

P0001                // Single component key

'P1000,10'           // single component key containing separator

Miller,Paul          // same as: Miller|Paul or: Miller;Paul

Miller,"Paul;John"   // Multiple component key containing separator

Return value:   - internal feature (not documented) ( logical  )
