The preprocessor also interprets references that are embedded in comments, for example, $Lastname$. Referencing a column in a script comment results in the script being run when the column value is changed.
An employee’s starting date is filled with a template. This template should run when the employee’s surname changes. The template for Person.Entrydate is therefore:
'$Lastname$
Value = Date
$[IsLoaded]:Bool$

The Base. syntax always accesses the object that is currently loaded. The base. object can be used in tasks, selection scripts for object definitions and insert values. However, the base. object cannot be used in templates, formatting scripts, or processes.
Simple value assignment
Base.PutValue("<column>", <value>)
Value assignment with variable replacement (value must be a character string)
Base.PutValue("<column>", context.Replace(<value>))
Base.PutValue("IsForITShop", 1)
