The following code can be used to change/update the default answer of all attribute element prompts based on the same attribute.
WebObjectSource wos = webObjectFactory.getObjectSource();
WebSearch search = wos.getNewSearchObject();
WebPrompt prompt = null;
WebElementsPrompt elemprompt = null;
WebElementsPrompt promptinfo = null;
//------------------------
//this example looks for all Month attribute element prompts with default answer and change it to a new value
//search can be narrowed to a specific prompt names
//asynchronized search
search.setAsync(false);
//search for prompt
search.types().add(new Integer(EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes.DssXmlTypePrompt));
search.submit();
WebFolder f = search.getResults();
if(!f.isEmpty())
{
for(int i=0;i<f.size();i++)
{
prompt = (WebPrompt) f.get(i);
prompt.populate();
//only work with prompts with default answers
if(prompt.hasDefaultAnswer())
{
//only work with attribute element prompts
if(prompt.getPromptType()== EnumWebPromptType.WebPromptTypeElements)
{
elemprompt = (WebElementsPrompt) prompt;
if(elemprompt.getOrigin().getName().equals("Month"))
{
//change value for one prompt
wos.setFlags(wos.getFlags() | EnumDSSXMLObjectFlags.DssXmlObjectBrowser );
promptinfo = (WebElementsPrompt)wos.getObject(elemprompt.getID(), EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes.DssXmlTypePrompt,true);
WebElements elements = promptinfo.getDefaultAnswer();
elements.clear();
//new answer Month Attribute ID:Element
elements.add("8D679D4411D3E4981000E787EC6DE8A4:200705");
promptinfo.setAnswer(elements);
wos.save(promptinfo);
}
