In Pega application terminology, what type of property is .Dependent(2) in the context given?

In Pega application terminology, a property that is denoted with a notation such as .Dependent(2) indicates that it is accessing the second item from a collection of properties. Specifically, this notation signifies that the property is part of a PageList. A PageList is a data structure in Pega that allows for the storage of multiple items, where each item can be a page containing various properties.

When using the indexing notation (e.g., (2)), it implies that the system is retrieving a specific instance from the list of pages, which is characteristic of how PageLists operate. In this case, the reference to .Dependent(2) suggests that you are looking at the second page in the PageList of Dependent properties. This direct access to a specific entry further reinforces the identification of the property as being part of a collection, which aligns with the characteristics of a PageList.

In contrast, other types of properties like Page, Decimal, and Text do not support indexed access in the same way. A Page would represent a single instance of data without the indexed collection implication, Decimal would be a numeric property without any hierarchical structure, and Text would simply store string data. Therefore, the designation of .Dependent(2) strongly
