replied on March 16, 2015

Hi Minura,

Do you have this script to set fields and comments through Workflow?

Thanks,

Workflow 9.1 or higher, assuming the entry is already under version control:

            EntryInfo EI=this.BoundEntryInfo;
            FieldValueCollection FVC=EI.GetFieldValues();
            FVC["FIELDNAME"] = "FIELDVALUE";
            EI.Lock(LockType.Exclusive);
            EI.SetFieldValues(FVC);
            EI.Comment="COMMENT";
            EI.Save();
            EI.Unlock();

Edit: replaced

FVC.Add("FIELDNAME","FIELDVALUE");

above with

FVC["FIELDNAME"] = "FIELDVALUE";

because Add only sets the field value if the field is not already part of the template assigned to the document (and does nothing if the field is already on the document).

Hi Miruna,

Can you help me please? I have the same issue but for me it's static documents and I do not want them to be under version control is it still possible to use the script that you've put? What my client want is to have an auto number generated on each comment field that we have in the metadata template.

Thanks,

Ketsia

You can use the part of the script that sets fields, but why would you when Workflow has a built-in Assign Field Values activity?

This solution is great! As I work to expand our use of it, I'm struggling with the syntax to insert a token as the comment. How would this be done? Thank you

I figured it out.

Should anyone else need to insert a token as a comment rather than static text, line 7 should read like this:

EI.Comment= TokenReplace("%(Insert your token name here)");

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what you need to update the Label section of the comment to? I thought it would be something simple like "EI.Label" like this but it doesn't exist...

            EntryInfo EI=this.BoundEntryInfo;
            FieldValueCollection FVC=EI.GetFieldValues();
            FVC["FIELD NAME"] = "VALUE";
            EI.Lock(LockType.Exclusive);
            EI.SetFieldValues(FVC);
            EI.Label= "Test";
            EI.Comment= TokenReplace("%(Version Comment)");
            EI.Save();
            EI.Unlock();

Thanks in advance!
