Assign Tagbox Items Action
14. March 2025
Table of Contents
The AssignTagboxItemsAction assigns a specific tagbox item to the tagbox field specified e.g. update copyright holders with creators from Dublin Core. This requires the layer where the field is found to be assigned already, therefore combine with "AssignLayerAction" and/or "LayerAssignedCondition".
The Business Rules are not executed after one another. If one Business Rule assigns a Layer and another assigns the value, it can happen that this does not work as the Business Rule Engine may first try to assign the value when the layer is not yet assigned.
The AssignValueAction could be used for tagbox values too, but only for single value tagboxes. The best practice recommendation is to use Assign Tagbox Items Action for tagboxes.
