Overview
This toolkit element enables the generation of one or more types of entity based on the document or content metadata. The expressions default to replacement strings, or $SCRIPT(...) can be used to return a string using javascript.
...
See detailed example below.
...
iterateOver
For Manual Entities you can use iterateOver, in the more advanced case where you want to extract entities from metadata arrays.
...
You can still throw errors from the script by checking if "(_iterator==null)" if you want to) This enables writing objects that will handle fields being either primitives or objects (eg by checking vs _iterator and _value).
...
creationcriteriaScripts
You can use "creationCriteriaScript" scriptlets to filter out unwanted entities. eg when looping over metadata arrays.
