CPQ 2.0 - OnItemCopied event (global script)

[tomdevilder]

In “Before add to quote” event of my configurable product I create a unique id ("PA_UniqueId) an put it in an attribute (if attribute is empty). In a global script on the event "BeforeItemAdded" , I read that attribute and add it to a Quote Item Custom field (UCF_UniqueId)

Now when I copy that Item on the Cart, this attribute and user custom field are copied along. What I want to do is to fill them with a new unique id (because otherwise it is not unique anymore)

This I try to do in a global script with event "OnItemCopied". There I get the product from the "context.CopiedItems" and fill the attribute with a new unique id. I do the same for the user custom field of the copiedItem. The Orginal Items I leave as it is.

My question now is, how can this be saved ? Because the values are not stored (although if I debug them at the end of the script, the new values are visible in the attribute / user custom field)

Next info was found in the HELP

User copies item in quote
          Execute item action : Copy
                Performing calculations on copied item
                Build number of items for product types
                Copying product configuration
                Copying item attachments
          Saving copied items
  After copying products in quote event trigered
 context:  CopiedItems : IEnumerable<IQuoteItem>
                 OriginalItems : IEnumerable<IQuoteItem>
                 Quote : Instance of type: Quote2
                Get item column values
  Before quote rendering event trigered
context -> Quote : Instance of type: Quote2

As far as I can see the product / quote item is not saved anymore. So what is the use of the "After copying products in quote event" to be triggered ? Some more info on how this works, and what the use is would be nice. 

Who can tell me what I'm doing wrong  and how I can solve my problem ?

The problem is solved... I found the solution... Not able to answer to your comments 😞

What values are we expecting ? If you want the old unique id you, instead of tracing at the end of the script do it before assigning the custom field.
