Why not simply add the parent folder's description to the original response?
doclist.get.json.ftl

<#if doclist.parent??>
   <#assign parentNode = doclist.parent.node>
   "nodeRef": "${parentNode.nodeRef}",
   "description": "${parentNode.properties.description!""}",
   …‍‍‍‍‍

Then in on the client, access it using

this.doclistMetadata.parent.description‍

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mike for your answer.

No problem to ot update doclist.get.json.ftl, the json content is correctly modified.

But where in share can I use

this.doclistMetadata.parent.description‍

I don't know in which file I can access this.doclistMetadata…. Is it in documentlibrary.ftl or in documentlibrary.js or smowhere else ???

Thanks Mike,

It's correct, you're the king 🙂

But I'm surprised that some content is generated using javascript. It was not possible to use freemarker to generate all pages ???
I think that it's not very practical……. newbie opinion :wink:

We get far more flexibility using the YUI components and client-side JavaScript rather than returning HTML from Freemarker scripts on the web tier.

Thanks,
