Functions

Set - A function to create and manipulate variables and change fields values

The function Set allows the creation of new variables that will be treated as fields (mappings) and then change that variables values.
The new value passed to Set function can be plain text, an existing field (mapping) or a Javascript field.
In the case of templates having Static Sections, you can create new variables outside of said Static Sections and use those variables inside the same Static Sections.

Definition:

${set(<variable name>,<new value>)}

Define a variable "count" with value "0" and then use it as a normal field.

${set(count,0)}  
${count} 
 
Define a variable "newKey" with the value of field ${Key} and then use it as a normal field.

${set(newKey,${Key})}  
${newKey}

Define a variable "TodayDate" with the value of the current date calculated with Javascript and then use it as a normal field

${set(TodayDate,%{(new Date()).getDate() + "/" + ((new Date()).getMonth()+1) + "/" + (new Date()).getFullYear()})} 
${TodayDate} 
 

Prop -  A function to set custom properties to be used by Xporter during the document generation

The main goal of this issue is to allow users to define properties that will be used later by Xporter during the document processing.

Usually, integrations require some extra configuration such as security tokens, API keys and other kind of configurations.
