Hello

I'm trying to add some custom Fields to a Output generated by the Controller. I tried something like this:

This doesn't seem to work though. If i do that, it doesn't preserve the values i got from the DB via DataObject::get().
If i do a foreach loop over the Set and customize every DataObject, it doesn't append the new values:

What is the right syntax to customise every DataObject in a DataObjectSet?
Input is much appreciated. Thanks

I think it might have to be more like this in your foreach loop:

$item = $item->First()->customise(array('CustomField' => $myValue ));

However, I could be wrong though, you could also create a new set to output.

I've only used it in this context so far:

$object= DataObject::get_by_id("Type", $SomeID);
$data = array("Object" => $object);
         
return $this->customise($data)->renderWith(array("MyPage", "Page"));

Sorry, my advice for using First() wasn't completely correct I believe and more applicable when you loop through an array-result of groupBy();

What happens when you do:

$CustomCompanyPageSet = new DataObjectSet(); //Result dataset

foreach ($CompanyPageSet as $CompanyPageObject) {

   $item = $CompanyPageObject->customise(array('CustomField' => 'Testgin' ));

   $CustomCompanyPageSet ->push($item);

}

That doesn't work? (I haven't done a customise like this to be honest, and maybe it won't work like this, ssadmins?)

You could always still use the arraydata method (like in the tutorial) and pass your object as well as yr new field.
      
Think that would become something like (in the foreach loop):

$data = array(
      "CustomField" => "Testing",
      "CompanyPageObject" => $CompanyPageObject
               );   
$CustomCompanyPageSet->push(new ArrayData($data));   

Of course, then it's not really available in the normal way.
