Change version manually?

Hi! It seems to be hard to change the version number by executing a script. Is there things i need to do before? My code is the following:var refName = document.properties["cm:name"];var refFile = companyhome.childByNamePath(refName);document.properties.autoVersion=false;document.properties.versionL

You could try to remove the aspect, change it and readd it. This has worked for me with custom aspects when just reassigning a value didn't work:

var oldVersion = document.properties[cm:versionLabel];
/*increment however you see fit*/
document.removeAspect("cm:versionable");
var props = new Array(1);
props["cm:versionLable"] = newVersion;
document.addAspect("cm:versionable", props);‍‍‍‍‍‍

No guarantees, though.

Thanks for you reply! But it didn't work even though i tried your suggestion. Fortunately, however, i managed to find out what i needed to do. After i set
document.properties.initialVersion=false;
it worked. It looks like the version property becomes static and not automatically set. It even seems impossible to check out the document afterwards but luckily i don't need that in this case.
