You can found a subtle bug in the scripting service Node class.

The issue is that if the script falls through to the 'else' case then the properties collection on the Node has not yet been initialised when it then calls document.save(). The reason it's working when you run the script by hand is that I would assume the document already has the aspect applied by then, so the 'if' case is executed instead which will work ok.

I've fixed the issue.

Thanks,

Kevin

FYI to get round the problem for now, change you script thus:


if (document != null)
{
   // add the "myAspect" aspect and set the "stampStatus" to: "ToBeStamped"
   if (document.hasAspect("corp:myAspect"))
   {
      document.properties["corp:stampStatus"] = "ToBeStamped";
      document.save();
   }
   else
   {
      var props = new Array(1);
      props["corp:stampStatus"] = "ToBeStamped";
      document.addAspect("corp:myAspect", props);
   }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Moving the document.save() solves the problem as it is not required anyway after the addAspect() call.

Thanks,
