Passing document properties to a user form (non-Unity)

[Mark_Rogers4]

This is an odd request.  Using an ad hoc task, I want to show the current doc type group and doc type on a user form.  How would I do that?  I'm thinking of getting the info via the automation api, saving it in keywords, and passing it to the html, but that seems convoluted.

Can I include calls to the automation api within the html?

Hi Mer,

I apologize for the delay in responding to your question. For what you are trying to do, I believe it will become involved in what you need to accomplish. There is no way to execute Automation API directly from within an HTML, and in order to get Document Type and Document Type Group information, you may need to call out to a custom application (possibly a web service or a DLL) via a JavaScript, and within this custom application is where you can use an API to retrieve the information you need.
