Instance()

Deprecated in 5.0.

Instead of using this function, just return an array with the following values:

  1. instance ({instance} in DCIs)

  2. instance name ({instance-name} in DCIs, optional)

  3. related object (optional)

Unlike previous versions, true is not required as the first value in the array, since presence of the array itself is enough to accept the instance. However, old scripts with four values will still work.

 
Instance(name, displayName, object): Array

This is helper function for instance filter script. It can be used to return accepted item. This function has named parameters.
