Rendering Link Builder Data
- In the render handler for the element containing the link builder field, this code is required to return the data from the Link Builder Data custom element.
- Add the following code into your render handler when looping over the render handler data array:
- // Get the Link Builder Data for the UUID's
- linkDataArray = application.ADF.ceData.getCEData("Link Builder Data", "uuid", items[i].Values.LINKS);
- Where “items[i].Values.LINKS” is the link builder field in the custom element.
