I’m not sure how that fits with what I’d like to do, Jeremy. Getting an entity
selection, transforming it into a collection, fiddling with the collection and
putting it back does seem rather involved.
Old:
ALL RECORDS([numbers])
APPLY TO SELECTION([numbers]phone:=“+44”+[numbers]phone)
ORDA:
For each ($number;ds.numbers.all())
$number.phone:=“44”+$number.phone
$number.save()
End for each
What I was looking for was something like
ds.numbers.all().applyToEach(“number = :1”; ”44”+number)
But if it’s not there, the hassle isn’t great.
