create_cloudobject

create_cloudobject creates a new cloud object of the specified type.

There are three forms of the create_cloudobject statement. The simplest has only one argument - the type of the new object

Another form has two arguments, the type and an initial identifier to set for the object (the object's __id field)

Finally the third form has the type followed by any number of name / value pairs for initial values to set in the object

Constant strings are best!

You can pass any value for the type, but whenever possible, use a constant string (e.g. "Person") When you do so, Exotool is able to operate more efficiently and produce better, faster. more secure code.
