IMetaAttribute.HasMultipleValues

Syntax

HasMultipleValues: Boolean;

Description

The HasMultipleValues property determines whether an element may have multiple values by this attribute. True - elements may have multiple values.

Comments

The attribute can support multiple values if its type is Link to the Dictionary (see MetaAttributeKind).

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a time series database with the OBJ_FC identifier and an MDM repository with the RDS_REPO identifier. The MDM repository must contain a dictionary with the DICT_COUNTRY identifier.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Rubr: IRubricator;
    Facts: IMetabaseObject;
    Att: IMetaAttribute;
    CollectionAtt: IMetaAttributes;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Rubr := MB.ItemById("OBJ_FC").Bind As IRubricator;
    Facts := (Rubr.Facts As IMetabaseObject).Edit;
    Att := (Facts As IMetaDictionary).Attributes.Add;
    Att.DataType := DbDataType.Integer;
    Att.Id := "A_M_REF";
    Att.Name := New attribute;
    Att.Kind := (MetaAttributeKind.Collection) Or (MetaAttributeKind.Dimension);
    Att.ValuesObject := MB.ItemByIdNamespace("DICT_COUNTRY", Mb.ItemById("RDS_REPO").Key);
    Att.DataType := DbDataType.Integer;
    Att.HasMultipleValues := True;
    CollectionAtt := Att.CollectionAttributes;
    CollectionAtt.BuildCollectionAttributes;
    CollectionAtt.CreateTable(True);
    Facts.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example, the New Attribute attribute is added to the dictionary that contains information about indicators of the time series database with the OBJ_FC identifier. This attribute is a link to the dictionary and supports multiple values. A system table is also created to store multiple values.
