Data Asset Import node icon You can use the Data Asset import node to pull in data from remote data sources using connections or from your local computer.

Example

import json

stream = modeler.script.stream()

dataassetimport = stream.findByID("<import nodeId>")
# loads the string settings as a json object
userSettings = json.loads(dataassetimport.getPropertyValue("user_settings"))

userSettings["interactionProperties"]["sheet_name"] = "<new sheet name>"
dataassetimport.setPropertyValue("user_settings", json.dumps(userSettings))
