restructurenode properties

Last updated: Jan 17, 2024

Restructure node icon The Restructure node converts a nominal or flag field into a group of fields that can be populated with the values of yet another field. For example, given a field named payment type, with values of credit, cash, and debit, three new fields would be created (credit, cash, debit), each of which might contain the value of the actual payment made.

Example

node = stream.create("restructure", "My node")
node.setKeyedPropertyValue("fields_from", "Drug", ["drugA", "drugX"])
node.setPropertyValue("include_field_name", True)
node.setPropertyValue("value_mode", "OtherFields")
node.setPropertyValue("value_fields", ["Age", "BP"])
