Inherit folder metadata

[dleeuwen]

Hi,

I have another question. Is it possible when I add custom metadata to a space that when I create another space in that space to inherit the metadate from the space above?

Example:

- space1
  metadata: id, name, adress, tel, fax, email

     |- subspace 2
     inherit : id, name from space1

Thanks,
Danny

Hi,

You should be able to do this using the Javascript API.

Execute the script in an inherited rule and you should get the described behavior.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I am a noob, concerning java scripting. I made the code below, hoping to realize that the space inherits the description of his parent (in this case called 'Zaken'). It's partly copied from the example test script.js from Data dictionary/scripts .

var folders = companyhome.childrenByXPath("*[@cm:name='Zaken']");
var zakenFolder = folders[0];

var parentDescription = zakenFolder.properties["cm:Description"];


space.properties["cm:Description"] = parentDescription;
space.save();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What am I doing wrong, does someone have an idea?

Thanks,

Edwin

The property names are case sensitive: 'cmescription' is not correct, use 'cm:description'.
