Creating and Modifying Dynamic Properties for the MSI-Install Component

To Create and Modify Dynamic Properties

Click the Components tab .
Click the MSI-Component component. The Dynamic Properties view is automatically displayed.
Click the Create button in the toolbar to create a new dynamic property. The Create Dynamic Property dialog is displayed.
Enter the following values:
- Namespace: /PackageName
- Type: Single Line Text
- Value: Static
- Enter the following text: Application.msi.
Note: This value will be referenced in the Workflow by the MSI Install Action. Remember that we defined the following prompset to source the value:
- MSI Install (PCK.automic_MSI.PRV.PROMPSETS.INSTALL_MSI):
  - Package name: EXT:/PackageName (=Application.msi; this is the value we have added).
Click Create.
Modify the existing dynamic properties according to these values:

Note: Depending on the Custom Type settings, some property values may be already defined. You can overwrite the expressions or use the existing ones.
