Calculate Value

• Specifies the Data Field that will receive the calculated value.
• If not set, you must specify a CustomValueName instead.
• The field must not be a pure computed field (i.e., one with only a Calculate Expression).

Example:
Assign the result of Subtotal + Tax to the "Total" field.

• If set, the calculated value will be stored as a custom key-value pair on the Batch Folder.
• The value can be accessed from custom activities using GetValue() / SetValue() on the folder object.
• If not set, you must specify a TargetField instead.

Example:
Store a calculated batch-level value for use in a later process step.

• Relevant when used in copy operations, where the source and target scopes differ.
• By default, the ValueExpression executes in the source scope.
• Set to true to execute the expression in the target scope, allowing calculations based on target data.

Example:
Use this when copying data and the calculation depends on values already present in the target.

• This code expression is evaluated to produce the value to assign.
• The expression can reference other fields, variables, or context properties.
• Must be set for the action to execute.

Example:
ValueExpression = "Quantity * UnitPrice"

• When true, the action will skip assignment if the target already contains a value.
• When false, the target will be overwritten.

Example:
Use to prevent overwriting user-entered or previously set values.

• If set, this value will be shown in UIs and logs instead of the default action type name.
• Useful for providing a user-friendly or context-specific label for the action.

Example:
DisplayName = "Normalize Phone Number"

• Use this property to provide additional context, instructions, or documentation for the action.
• The remarks are visible in property grids and can help clarify the intent or configuration of the action.

Example:
Remarks = "This action trims whitespace and converts the value to uppercase."

This property provides a concise description of what the action does.
