How Can I use key value pair in system property?

[amiie]

Hi want to define key and value pair(Dictionary)in system property and call the system property in the script. Depending on the key I provided in the script the property should return the value.

Any help will be appreciated.

Amitra,

A system property is essentially a key value pair itself, can you explain your use case a bit better? I suppose if you only wanted a single system property to reference and then hold multiple sub-key/value pairs you could store a JSON object as a string and reference its key/values as needed.

I know json is a way.. But I am not willing to implement JSON. Can you please tell me what is the functionality of choice field in property?

as an example of what @johnstettin mention.

Value of sys_property

{
  "keyName1": "String Value",
  "keyName2": 0,
  "keyName3": ["string1", "string2", ...],
  "keyName4:" {
     "innerKeyName1": "Inner Key Value",
     "innerKeyName2": 4
  }
}

and use it as such

var config = global.JSON.parse(propertyName);
gs.log(config.keyName1); //String value
