# Linked Item

The Linked Item object is of type *PsObject* and represents the [link between two Fusion 360 Manage Items](<https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=UG-MANAGEDTAB-MANAGEDITEMS>).

The \$linkedItem object provides all the members from the linked [Item](</code_reference/objects/item>) and additionally all the details which are specific to this link.\
The properties can be retrieved with a *'LinkedItem\_'* prefix and the same name as the *Fields* displayed in the Fusion 360 Manage [Linked Items Tab](<https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=GUID-6B5DB4A0-3DA3-4F93-994F-86A8F03EEF66>), however if they contain whitespaces they must be be accessed by enclosing them in single quotes.

Managed items which are revised/released through this link relationship (even known as *Affected Items*, *Workflow Items* or *Associated Change Orders*) provide additional properties which can be retrieving using this *'LinkedItem\_'* prefix.

## Syntax

```powershell
$linkedItem.Id
```

For linked items from *revision-controlled* workspaces a set of predefined Fields is always available in addition to the members of the related [Item](</code_reference/objects/item>) revision.\
They are only meaningful to [Managed Items](<https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=UG-MANAGEDTAB-MANAGEDITEMS>):

| Type                 | Name                           | Description                                                         |
|----------------------|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Nullable\[DateTime\] | LinkedItem_EffectivityDate     | A date at which the Managed Item will become or has been effective. |
| String               | LinkedItem_LifecycleTransition | The current lifecycle phase of the Managed Item.                    |
| String               | LinkedItem_FromRevision        | The initial item revisions name                                     |
| String               | LinkedItem_ToRevision          | The resulting item revisions name                                   |

## Remarks

The property `LinkedItem_EffectivityDate` contains the date in which an item in a revisioning workspace is revised/released. If no specific date is set, the effectivity date is implied by the release date of the change order. In the Fusion 360 Manage UI the value *On Release* is displayed in the text box. Since this is not a valid date format the property is displayed as **empty** by the Cmdlet.

Similar as for [Item Fields](<code_reference/objects/item:remarks>) even the values of [Custom Linked-Item fields](<https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=GUID-6B5DB4A0-3DA3-4F93-994F-86A8F03EEF66>) are provided as a corresponding PowerShell data type depending on their configured [Field types](<http://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=GUID-02815D7F-2697-4F83-8DDA-896202805676>).
