Edit objects in Parse.Cloud defined function before response.success

[CiraciNicolo]

I've defined a parse cloud function that allow me to retrive some objects and I would "add" a calculated property to this object without saving that "new" property.

Let me be clear: in this scenario we have a Feed and a FeedLike entity, I've define a parse.cloud function that returns me the feeds and I would like to edit the feed object adding a calculated property to know if a the query user liked that post. I can retrive Feed and FeedLike both, but if I edit the feed property "liked" (On parse dashboard is a boolean type, undefined for all objects) the response is always nil.

The dashboard doesn't use this cloud function, it queries the class directly, so it wouldn't get this extra info.

I'm not talking about the dashboard, the requests are made ​​by the iOS/Android SDKs

Interesting. Adding properties in a cloud function should work fine. Can you include your code, and the server logs that demonstrate the issue? Then we can make a test case.

Actually I think I have the save problem. I have an event object which holds an array of pointers. I need to include the objects in this array only for particular users, which are the creators of the event. All this is to optimise my traffic.

eventsQuery.find({
success: function(events) {
var lastPage = true;
if (events.length > pageElements) {
events.pop();
lastPage = false;
}

  if (request.user != undefined) {
    if (request.user.get('userType') == 'agent') {
      for (var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {

        if(events[i].get('eventCreator').id != request.user.id){
          events[i].set("respondents", []);
          events[i].set("accepted", []);
          events[i].set("denied", []);
        }
      }
    }
  }

  returnDict["events"] = events;
  returnDict["lastPage"] = lastPage;

  response.success(returnDict);
},
error: function(error){
  response.error("Something Went Wrong With Code: " + error.code + " And Message: " + error.message);
}

});

Also would love this. The reason is in the encode function:

 if (forcePointers || !seen || seen.indexOf(seenEntry) > -1 || value.dirty() || _Object$keys(value._getServerData()).length < 1) {
      return value.toPointer();
}

If you call set after retrieving the object from the DB, it becomes dirty and you lose all the rest of the JSON. Very unfortunate.
