ok so here are my two rules: 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => length = "20" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => value = "ERDDisplayLargeString" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
i was doing something wrong: should have been 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => componentName = "ERDDisplayLargeString" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] I just had to read it 50 more times for my pea brain.
