XYplorer Beta Club

For my first XYscript, I'm trying to set a persistent value in a custom column, as a timestamp (not the cma attributes). A custom column with Caption:step_date, Type:Script, Format:Date, Trigger:Click, and the script

::return <date dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss>

works, but of course the resulting value is lost when I restart XYplorer. Can the value be kept without creating an external file?

I then tried to put that script in a user button and set the Custom Column type to Property, but I can't find out (help and forum) how to refer to (and set) this Custom Column property for the current list item...

I would much prefer the column script.

You aren't storing anything here, you're just returning the date...
For permanently storage, write it to the tag database, in this case e.g. the ex1 column:
tag <date dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss>, <cc_item>, 3, 2;

Thanks, I can't try this right away, but will let you know here later tonight (Europe time).

Thanks again for the tip, it works just fine!
