I have a problem with setting up an ordered attribute list in a published paramter. I haven't found a hint in any documentation, how to type in the list in the "edit configuration" window. Is there any documentation I did not find or does it follow the semantics of a language, like e.g. python?

Hey, i've never used this parameter before, but have a look/play around with it, it seems to be more suited for using in a custom transformer.

 

have a look at the attached workbench (2020.1) for an idea on how its used (there is a logger in the custom transformer)

Hello, thank you for your respond! I think, I maybe got the parameter wrong. The thing is, that I was expecting that I can type a complex/structured list, like a dictionary in python. As we have a workspace that we want to run through a workspace runner, needing a complex/structured list as input, the thought

was to use a published parameter to be able to produce the list in the mother workspace and then fetch it with a parameter fetcher as a complex/structured list in the child workspace. But it seems I got the parameter wrong and this is not possible.

You'd be able to achieve that by using a text parameter and outputting the dict as a string onto that parameter
