Copied!
EXAMPLE 2
The following expands tokens in fields on the item. If the standard value of the field contains a token we modify the field to the token so the expansion will work (Sitecore API does not expand if the field is the same as Standard Values and never modified).
1
$tokens = @('$name', '$id', '$parentId', '$parentname', '$date', '$time', '$now')
2
​
3
$item = Get-Item -Path "master:\content\home"
4
​
5
$standardValueFields = Get-ItemField -Item $item -ReturnType Field -Name "*" `
6
| Where-Object { $_.ContainsStandardValue }
7
​
8
$item.Editing.BeginEdit()
9
​
10
foreach ($field in $standardValueFields) {
11
$value = $field.Value
12
​
13
if ($tokens -contains $value) {
14
$item[$field.Name] = $value
15
}
16
}
17
​
18
$item.Editing.EndEdit()
