Summary
ArcPy class that provides access to the group of linked property rows associated with the job. It is comprised of 0 or more ExtendedProperty objects.
Discussion
Linked properties store business-specific information as part of the job that is not covered by the default job properties. Linked properties have one-to-many (1-many) cardinality and there is zero or more set of properties associated with the job. To configure and use linked properties in your job types, you must create a new geodatabase table in the Workflow Manager Repository. Then configure Workflow Manager to recognize this table as an extension to the rest of the system tables.
Properties

| alias (Read Only) | The alias of the extended property or linked property table associated with the job. | String |
| cardinality (Read Only) | The cardinality of the extended property or linked property table associated with the job. | String |

| deleteRecord (record) | Deletes one linked property record associated with the job. |
Methods
createRecord ()
Return Value
| Data Type | Explanation |
| ExtendedProperty | The new linked property record associated with the job, as an ExtendedProperty object. |
Linked property records are created after job creation as required. A job can have zero or more linked property records.
The following script creates a linked property record associated with the job and updates the value of cells.
import arcpy
import arcpywmx
# Establish a connection to a Workflow database
conn = arcpywmx.Connect(r'c:\test\Workflow.jtc')
# Access a Workflow Job with linked properties
job = conn.getJob(99999)
# Get the linked properties table associated with the job
prop_table = job.getExtendedPropertyTable('wmx.linked_properties')
# Create new record in the linked property table
new_record = prop_table.createRecord()
# Update value of cells for the new record
new_record['parcel_number'].data = 10001
new_record['requestor_name'].data = 'Fire Department'
new_record['request_date'].data = datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 30, 12, 30, 45)
job.save()
deleteRecord (record)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
record | The linked property record as an ExtendedProperty object. |
