Get a metadata property about an object.

Prototype

Parameters

• object - A variable reference to a repository object.
• property - One of the following property names, relative to the queried object.  The property names are keywords, so they are expressed without quotes.  For example, META(LastModified).
  • LastModified - The greater-object's Last Modified Timestamp, which is the most recent modification of a top-level object and all of it's embedded objects recursively.  In other words, a top-level object and all of it's embedded objects recursively share the same Last Modified Timestamp.
  • ThisLastModified - The immediate-object's This Last Modified Timestamp, which is the most recent modification to the immediate-object, regardless of whether or not the object is a top-level object or embedded within another object.  In other words, a top-level object may have a different This Last Modified Timestamp than it's embedded children, which are modified independently from the top-level object and other embedded objects.
  • LastModifiedNote - The version note of the greater-object's last modification.
  • ThisLastModifiedNote - The version note of the immediate-object's last modification.
  • LastModifiedRevision - The revision of the greater-object's last modification.
  • ThisLastModifiedRevision - The revision of the immediate-object's last modification.
  • LastCreatedRevision - The revision of the greater-object's creation.
  • ThisCreatedRevision - The revision of the immediate-object's creation.
  • Unsaved - 1 if the greater-object is in an unsaved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • ThisUnsaved - 1 if the immediate-object is in an unsaved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • Unapproved - 1 if the greater-object is in an unapproved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • ThisUnapproved - 1 if the immediate-object is in an unapproved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • Approved - 1 if the greater-object is in an approved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • ThisApproved - 1 if the immediate-object is in an approved state for the specified User (option can be a username or User OID), otherwise 0.
  • HasIcon - 1 if the top-level-object has an icon defined (in all variants), otherwise 0.
  • ThisHasIcon - 1 if the immediate-object has an icon defined, otherwise 0.
  • Deleted - 1 if the top-level-object is deleted (in all variants), otherwise 0.
  • ThisDeleted - 1 if the immediate-object is deleted, otherwise 0.
  • ParentOID - OID of the immediate-object's parent OID (an alias for ThisParentOID).
  • ThisParentOID - OID of the immediate-object's parent OID.
  • TopParentOID - OID of the top-most-object.
  • ThisTopParentOID - OID of the top-most-object of the immediate-object, which is always the same as TopParentOID.
  • IsEmbedded - 1 if the immediate-object is embedded, otherwise 0.
  • ThisIsEmbedded - 1 if the immediate-object is embedded, otherwise 0.

Return

Returns the object's metadata property value.
