Updating Document Date via Unity API

[Anthony_Boyd]

Is there a way to update the document date for an already existing document using the Unity API?  I looked through the SDK and could not find a way and when I tried using the .DocumentDate property of the document but this appers to be read-only.  I have a vbScript that can do this but would rather use a Unity script.

Thanks

This functionality will be available in the 12.0 release of the Unity API.

What is the Unity API call in 12.0 to do this?

As you already noted, the DocumentDate property on the document object is read-only.  To change that property or any other document property (like most document update functions) requires a "modifier".  I did not find any example in the current SDK, so I will request that be added in an upcoming edition of the SDK.

Here is a simple Unity API example that sets the document date to today's date:

1. Document doc = args.Document;

2. DocumentPropertiesModifier docMod = doc.CreateDocumentPropertiesModifier();

3. docMod.DocumentDate = DateTime.Now.Date;

4. docMod.ApplyChanges();

We tried:

var document = unityCore.GetDocumentByID(xxxx);

            using (var lockDoc = document.LockDocument())

            {

               if (lockDoc.Status.Equals(DocumentLockStatus.LockObtained))

               {

                  Console.WriteLine(@"Document Locked.");

                  using (lockDoc)

                  {

                     var t = document.CreateDocumentPropertiesModifier();

                     t.DocumentDate = DateTime.Now;

                     t.ApplyChanges();

                  }

               }

            }

however it results in an exception when the changes are applied. 

Document Locked.
