RETRIEVES AN OBJECT ATTRIBUTE¶
Retrieves the value of a named attribute from a platform object (simulation, physical test, HPC job, workflow, attachment, or user). Use this worker whenever a downstream step needs a single metadata field from any supported object type without fetching the full record.
When to use¶
Tagged: attachment, attribute, hpcjob, metadata, object, physicaltest, platform, simulation.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Object Type | obj_type | select | — | ✓ | The class of platform object to query; select one of: Simulation (solverresultset), Physicaltest, Hpcjob, Workflow, Attachment, or User — must match the type of the target object identified by obj_id. |
| Object Id | obj_id | text | — | ✓ | The unique integer or UUID identifier of the target object on the platform (e.g. the simulation ID or physical-test ID shown in the URL or returned by a preceding worker). |
| Attribute Name | attr_name | text | — | ✓ | The exact API field name of the attribute to retrieve (e.g. ‘status’, ‘name’, ‘created_at’); must correspond to a valid field on the selected object type. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attribute Name | attr_name | text | Echo of the requested attribute name as supplied in the input, useful for downstream labelling or logging. |
| Attribute Value | attr_value | text | The resolved string value of the requested attribute for the given object; downstream workers should cast this to the expected type (integer, boolean, date, etc.) as needed. |
