Set the Context during Create New Document

Set the Context during Create New Document

User wants to upload a new document as a Described By or Referenced By and attach it to an existing WtPart.......this requires multiple steps, there is only the ability to specify a folder in the same context as the parent WtPart. If you want to manage Documents in a different context, it requires a user to first go create the WtDocument in the desired context. Second, to create the association between the WtDoc and the WtPart. Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to select the Context, and the folder in that context, during the Create New Document action? We created a java class to do this in 9.1.....couldn't believe it wasn't built-in functionality. Now in 10.2, the functionality has not improved. Would this be useful to anyone else?

Ray,

because you spoke about a java class, I can tell you what we did.

I cannot give you any code, because it was one of my consultants who did the customization, but we have an IBA for WTDocs where you can write or copy/paste our WTParts number and, at check-in, this customization link WTDocs at WTParts with admin rights.

Hope it can help you.
