Hello,
Just wondering what the difference is. I can't find any documentation for: context.callingEntityKey. All I have to go on is the name which is somewhat self explanatory however how does it differ from context.currentEntity and when would a use the one over the other?
Thanks,
Jonathan
BTW: it should be currentEntity.Entity vs callingEntityKey. I'm aware that currentEntity contains much more information.
I assume that you’re referring to the “context” parameter passed by CloudScript when calling the ExecuteEntityCloudScript API. In fact, these two fields are different:
currentEntity.Entity refers to the entity that’s been performed action on, in other words, it’s the entity specified in ExecuteEntityCloudScript’s request body:
callingEntityKey is associated with the caller’s entity, for instance, when calling ExecuteEntityCloudScript using the title’s entity token, callingEntityKey would be the that title’s EntityKey, like this:
"callingEntityKey":{
"Id":"xxxx",
"Type":"title",
"TypeString":"title"
}
Thanks. I was calling `ExcuteEntityCloudScript` without passing `Entity`. So it was defaulting to the calling entity which is what I wanted. But this made the distinction unclear.
Thanks you,
Jonathan
