row-number The row number of the instance of the item that you want to get. (Instance
row numbers begin with 1.)

Usage Notes
• In the Java pluggable component, each custom property type must be represented by a single
instance of the ID class, created by using ID.registerProperty.
• For each Get_Custom_Property built-in executed in the form, the Java component’s getProperty
method is called.
• The name of the item can be gained through either Find_Item(‘Item_Name’), or simply via
‘Item_Name’.
