Hello,

out-of-the-box I don't think you'll find something like this as only type, aspects, properties and permissions are returned for items loaded in the document library. You would have to enhance the Repository tier data web script via its extension points to provide information about associations in order to actually have data for an evaluator of the kind you propose to work on. In general, this is achievable, but you should take care to only check/load the associations when necessary as you most certainly would impact the performance of the data web script significantly just by checking for the existence of such associations on each item.

Hi Axel,

I'm facing the same issue. I want association information in Evaluator such that I should render the action if a node has custom association otherwise not. Can you tell me, how to achieve this task and which Data WebScript, we have to override??

Thanks a lot.
