Adding aspect to existing document in the repository

ltsaty — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 09:46:14 GMT

Hi ! Nobody has a JavaScript to add or remove an aspect (appl: inlineeditable ) to documents that are already imported into the repository.I am very annoyed, I should have included this aspect in the rule before import. Can you help me please?Thanks Léon TSATY

You can create your own script for that:

1. search for the documents that needs to be updated using "search" root object.

2. Iterate the result script nodes and add your aspect with required properties using "node.addAspect(...)"

create a rule that applies to your specific type, apply the rule on the root folder then add a script for adding aspect using "document.addAspect(..)"

Look in documentation on help regarding JS root objects and useful methods.

The javascirpt console would be a helpful in writing the scipt.

Hello

I can not create my own script because I do not know the javascript development language

I am a beginner on alfresco. So creating scripts is too sophisticated for me

Thanks
