Version: Windchill 13.0

 

Use Case: We want to add some custom attributes to folders that we will need to modify during in certain cases.


Description:

Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if there is a way to make it possible to modify custom attributes for folders via API cause I'm having problem with a customization since I'm able to access only to the default "Description" attribute.
Thank you in advance

Hi @AK_10639313 

Additional info.

Sometimes It is very useful to check the JavaDoc documentation to understand what the service can do.

Hi @AK_10639313 

Try the persistable adapter and PersistenceHelper

 

 

PersistableAdapter folderObj = new PersistableAdapter(persist, null, null, null);
folderObj.load("IBANAME", "name");
folderObj.set("IBANAME", "my value");
Object obj = folderObj.apply();
PersistenceHelper.manager.store(obj);

 

example also mentioned in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS149150?

 

replaced old api with new one> https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS138252

    Sorry for the late reply and thank you a lot for sharing a possible solution,
    I tried to do as you said but it didn't apply the changes on the attributes of the folder.

    Hi @AK_10639313 

    You need to find a reason, why the change has not been stored(saved)
