Title: What EA table stores the "WebEA" value and can I safely overwrite it?
Post by: Richard Freggi on September 03, 2022, 02:37:01 pm

I want to display the object ID on the Properties window because the GUID is too long for human use.
My WebEA field is blank because my projects are all local *.qea.  So I thought I could override the field with an UPDATE statement on the qea database.
Did not find the entry for WebEA in qwerty's excellent "Inside EA".  Could anyone advise what table and field, and is it safe to override its data or not?  Thanks!

Hello,

If I understand correctly, the WebEA value is generated dynamically from project options and an element's GUID. So there is no stored information.
I think the Keyword (Tag in t_object) or Phase values are suitable since they do not have any side-effect.

HTH,
