Hi,

I had the same problem too. It seems that site.node.save() doesn't save the modified properties.

My custom code in site.put.json.js was:


for ( var prop in site.node.properties) {
logger.log("BEFORE. " + prop + " —> " + site.node.properties[prop]);
if (prop.indexOf("myprop") != -1) {
site.node.properties[prop] = json.get("myprop");
site.node.save();
}
logger.log("AFTER. " + prop + " —> " + site.node.properties[prop]);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The traces show that before and after have the same value, despite changes from site (I tried site.save() too), but nothing.

The only way I found to fix this is replace by a java backed webscript, because it seems that org.alfresco.repo.site.script.ScriptSiteService or org.alfresco.repo.site.script.Site are failing.
It would be nice if the webscript updates any custom properties (site.put.json only is prepared to update title, description and visibility….)
