Migration Scripts and variables

Nader Belal · ‎2020-02-19

Hi there

I have a question regarding GDL variables (not Parameters) and migration scripts.

Suppose that there are a number of variables that I have scripted in the GDL scripts, and I need to change them, can I make the migration script change them ??

Thank you in advance

A good friend of mine have once told me that I´m so brute that I´m capable of creating a GDL script capable of creating GDLs.

Not that I am aware of.
The migration script can set parameter values at the time the migration occurs, but if you have other values set by scripts in the object, the migration can have no effect on them.

Having said that, your migrated object is a new object and it will have new scripts, so you can set new values in those scripts to what ever you want.
This of course will affect existing placed objects as they are migrated, which may or may not be your intention.
