If composite is selected for the data type and Direct Input is selected for the setting method, you can upload a file for the default value. In this case, even if the property key is specified in the uploaded file, the property key is treated as a character string and the property value cannot be obtained.
- Tip
-
The difference between the string type and composite type is the number of characters you can specify. For the string type, you can specify 1,024 or fewer characters. For the composite type, you can specify a character string whose size is 30 MB or less. For example, if you want to map an output property that has more than 1,024 characters to the input property of another step, specify the composite type for the data type of the input property. If you select the composite type in the Create Input Property for Service dialog box, specify the default value by uploading a file.
The following table lists the items displayed according to the selected data type.
