Set Data based on id rather than index

The Set Data operator allows you to change one attribute value for on sample. It would be useful if the sample can be selected by its ID not the row index. Imagine you have attribute filters and the index constantly changes making you manually change the sty data parameter.

Any workaround to this would be appreciated. ???

Thanks,

    Hi Gagi,
    you could simply use the filter examples operator with the attribute value condition, id = desired value and then set the example index constantly to 1. To avoid the discarding of all your examples simply multiply the exampleset before and pass the copy by. Since the data is changed, the change will be in all views of the example set.

    I will post a process to our community. You might download it using the community extension.

    Thanks for the work around but it still seems a bit cumbersome, especially since my id values have a meaning are not simply a list of increasing numbers.

    Hi,
    if you find it useful enough you might add it to our bugtracker as a feature request for later versions.
