Impulse Values

The liquid-field manipulator can use liquid templates to build a more complicated field value. There are two different attributes of the field that are used based on what type of field is being built.

1. Value

2. Relation

Value

A value field is used for most field types.

Used with field types:

• Array

• Big Integer

• Big String

• Boolean

• Checkbox

• Date

• Date-Time

• Decimal

• Float

• Integer

• JSON

• Key Value

• Multi-select

• Radio

• Select

• String

• Text Area

• Time

• WYSIWYG

Template

[{"value":"<insert field value>"}]
[{"value":"<insert field value>"}, {"value":"<insert field value>"}]

Example

[{"value":"my static value"}]
[{"value":"my static value"}, {"value":"my second static value"}]

[{"value":"{{ content.fields.title.value }}"}]
[{"value":"{{ content.fields.first.value }}"}, {"value":"{{ content.fields.second.value }}"}]

Relation

A relation field is used for any relationship type field.

Used with field types:

• Category

• File

• Image

• Relationship

• Tag

Template

[{"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"<insert child ID value>"}}}]
[{"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"<insert child ID value>"}}}, {"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"<insert child ID value>"}}}]

Example

[{"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"blt6eb2f3dd9c154fc7"}}}]
[{"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"blt6eb2f3dd9c154fc7"}}}, {"relations":{"parentIds":{"value":"{{content.id}}"}, "childIds":{"value":"blt1716d8a3b330e674"}}}]

Example Use Case

This use case creates a new array of relation values based on values found from an attribute in a JSON field. This uses a variety of filters and tags in the liquid template to convert an array of json strings to an array of relation values for a relationship field.
