Anybody think of a reason why this shouldn't work,...

Copy code
public Boolean function setMemento( required Struct updates )
{
var setter = "";
var value = "";
for(var key in updates)
{
setter = "set#Key#";
value = updates[key];
invoke( this, setter, value );
}
return true;

09/30/2022, 6:39 PMall values are simple (no objects, arrays, structs, etc.). and this does work:
Copy code
public Boolean function setMemento( required Struct updates )
{
var key = "";
var setter = "";
var value = "";
for( key in updates)
{
setter = "set#key#";
value = updates[key];
Evaluate("this.#setter#(value)");
}
return true;

What if you go:
Copy code
setter = this["set#key#"];
value = updates[key];
setter(value);Adam Cameron

Hang-on, don't get ahead of myself. I didn't test that.
It was just to factor

if ( structKeyExists( variables, "get#useDataModel#" ) ) {
dat = variables[ "get#useDataModel#" ]( argumentCollection=modelargs );
}
// i do something pretty similar, likely would easily adapt, like Adam, I didn't want evaluate or invoke3 Views
