Hello,

there is no way to add an aspect with client side JavaScript without you having to perform an AJAX call on a predefined operation (web script) that implements such a functionality. You can use addAspect in a Repository web script that uses JavaScript for the controller logic, but not on the Share-tier (client JavaScript or Share web script).
As I know of no out-of-the-box web scripts that perform this kind of low-level operation, you would have to write your own. But I would recommend moving your business logic away from the client-side into the Repository backend.

Axel

Hi Axel,

Thanks for the response. It was helpful.

Now i created Repository web script and adding aspect to the node with the help of noderef. I am also sending email to group of assignees using this script.

Is it fine that i call Repository web script from share context? How do i pass data like email recipients, noderef to this Repository webscript? Currently i pass as URL parameters. If there is a way to send as JSon data or some other means, please tell me.
