Getting the section id of a repeating section which calls a sheet worker

Is it possible to get section Id of the repeating section that called a sheet worker.  The only way I have found to do this is to add a hidden attribute inside the fieldset and fill it when the row is created. I hope that makes sense.

I hope that makes sense. You can use a regular expression to extract the id from the sourceAttribute property of the eventInfo object.

Like this on("change:repeating_melee:primWpnSkill", function(eventInfo) { let RID = eventInfo.sourceAttribute.slice(18,38);

It will have to work with more than one section so I will have to go delve into regular expressions, thanks Jakob and Finderski for getting me on the right path.

Here's a website I found that's been helping me figure out regular expressions (because I'm having to learn them, too): <a href="https://www.regextester.com/?fam=102769" rel="nofollow">https://www.regextester.com/?fam=102769</a> You could paste in several things with row IDs and you'd be able to see if it's finding the correct stuff no matter what the string is.

&nbsp;I can really mess things up quick, fast and in a hurry with regex.&nbsp; Site bookmarked.&nbsp; Thanks Finderski

I like regexr.com for my regex testing (and you can save patterns you make for use later on)

on("change:repeating_melee:primWpnSkill", function(eventInfo) { let sourceA = eventInfo.sourceAttribute let regex = /[^_]*_[^_]*_[^_]*/g; let &nbsp;row = sourceA.match(regex); That was not fun.

Ah, I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier, I actually have a function already to do this in an API script I'm writing. The split() function can also be used to get the rowid and attribute name. var attrinfo = {}; attrinfo.ownerid = obj.get("_characterid"); var name_arr = obj.get("name").split("_"); attrinfo.rowid = name_arr[2]; attrinfo.name = name_arr[3]; attrinfo.current = obj.get("current"); return attrinfo; Of course, in a Sheet Worker you'd use&nbsp;eventInfo.sourceAttribute to get the full name instead of obj.get("name")

Thanks Authors, I figured out a split version. &nbsp;I was trying to rise to Jakob's regular expression challenge. &nbsp;
