Failing to call setVariableValue

[Nikita Aigner]

Hi Forum,

I’m having trouble with the Lua programming interface for filters. When calling setVariableValue(), I get the “attempt to call global ‘setVariableValue’ (a nil value)” error. Am I missing something about an import? From my understanding, this function should be provided to the Lua interface out of the box, right?
The date() function seems to work for example…

Here is a sample code that breaks a filter for me:

setVariableValue(“c_0001”, 0)
return true

Best,

Nikita

I managed to resolve this myself.

For future reference: (most) EFS functions are available to questions but not to filters. This was not obvious from the documentation.
