Re: forms 4.5: using SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM

[Quoted] I'm not trying to alter SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM, I'm trying to set the value of the item that it is returning. Is there a way to do that using Set_Item_Property? I didn't think that there was.

Something that did
Set_Item_Value(:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM,'HELLO'); is what I am effectively looking for.
