Updating an attribute value in a custom Configuration Object

Question

I created a custom configuration object, and have two attributes which should hold date values. One attribute will contain a null value and one attribute will contain a date value by default. Now, when i enter date values on an end user form and press continue, the user entered values have to be updated in these fields in the configuartion object. The attrib1 null value has to be updated with the corresponding value entered on the userform and the attibute2 ( which already has a default value) has to be overwritten with the date value selected(date selected with the date picker) on the enter user form.
I used checkout object, a script to get the value from the form and a checkin object to perform the above operation, but the value is not being updated in the configuration object. Any suggestions for the above problem would help me a lot!!

Answer 1

Have you tried accessing the object from a rule using 'getObject' (you might need to use 'getExtension' also).
Try gettting the object directly from a rule, and use a 'set' to set the object key. I am not sure, but you might need to 'dumpMap' to actually convert the object to a Map structure before you can modify it.
