PartProtection

PartProtection

is an option for cloud expressions that controls which parts of their structure can be changed.

Details

  • The setting for PartProtection specifies which parts of lists and associations in a cloud expression are protected from being modified in place.
  • Possible settings include:
  • Automaticonly individual elements can be changed
    Allnothing in the expression can be changed
    Noneeverything can be changed
  • When a change is attempted on a part of a cloud expression not allowed by the setting of PartProtection, a Failure object is returned.
  • With the setting PartProtection->All, deleting the cloud expression using DeleteCloudExpression and resetting its value with Put are still allowed.
