Update date property

sercama — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:16:03 GMT

Hello everybody,I have to update a custom date property from a node of my Alfresco installation. So, I run next javascript code:var node = search.luceneSearch('@sys\\:node-uuid:"abd3a8f7-66a5-4288-bf29-b9f31510cecb"');node = node[0]; //get node to updatenode.properties["xxx:customDate"] = "2017-03-3

Please do not do any Lucene searches (Alfresco no longer uses Lucene and the search language support is not being improved anymore) - stick to Alfresco FTS and/or CMIS
You do not need to perform a search to find a node. The "search" root scope object has a simple findNode() operation which you can use with a NodeRef string value to lookup the node from the DB. You'd simply need to prefix your UUID with the workspace://SpacesStore/ fragment
Does your JavaScript code complete successfully? E.g. is there some code after that section that may fail or are there messages in the log about a potential failure? The fact that the NodeBrowser shows a different value indicates that the value may not actually have been updated on the DB, which typically is a result of a transaction failing to commit.

Hi ,

Thank you for your reply. I've debug my code and I've found the problem. I've had an error in a behaviour, javascript code was properly.
