is there a way to update/change the value of a run property.. during runtime?

like..

node.properties('rundate') = '5/4/202'

so late when {{^rundate^}} is used it has that date?

thanks!

Run property values are considered literals / constants and are evaluated at the time the data flow was initialized prior to being executed. The values cannot be updated from within a data flow.

Obviously, you could create a variable within a node and set it's initial value to that from a Run property and then later update that variable's value. However, the scope of that variable would only be in the node that defined it. You could output the updated value in an output field but there is no way to 'broadcast' the updated value so it is available to other (unconnected) nodes within the data flow.

You can pass a variable from a Parent data flow into a Child data flow using the Execute Data node. This variable would then be available within the Child data flow as, effectively, a Run property.

Depending on the situation, you could alternatively write a value to an external data store (DB table, a temporary file (.brd file), etc) and then read in the value as required.

Just in case this is not clear, and this is not necessarily what you are asking, you can always override the Run Date and Run Time manually in a Schedule that runs the dataflow, and in a Run State.

I can do it in a transform and just feed the date i want... its just a pain lol
