Custom Attributes and Custom Preferences

2020.1.6.10 brings new awesome feature - Autocompletion/Goto for custom attributes and custom preferences.

There are two conditions to make it work:

• You must have xml meta data somewhere in your project (it really doesn’t matter where) and it must be not excluded for indexing. You can export it
  via Administration > Site Development > Import & Export > Meta.
  Meta data can be stored as one file or split into multiple files (see following screenshot)

Salesforce B2C Commerce XML Meta Data (Example)

• Variable type must be correct.
  For cases like ProductMgr.getProduct('prodID') it will work out of the box because ProductMgr.getProduct returns dw.catalog.Product type.
  You can also set type manually:

See video of how it works

Custom Objects

Starting from 2020.1.6.10 you have basic Autocompletion/Goto for Custom Object. This functionality also based on XML Meta Data in your project (it must be placed somewhere in your project).

Autocompletion/Goto works for CustomObjectMgr.getCustomObject method, for first argument which is ID of custom object.
