Windchill Customization

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.1When using a custom TreeBuilder to populate a tree table component with data from a JSON file, the OOTB Export_file action only exports the header values and not the data. The same data is correctly displayed on the UI but not populated in the exported Excel sheet. The custom TreeBuilder is mapping JSON attributes to a bean file, and the tree table is displaying the values as expected. However, the exported Excel sheet shows only headers without any data rows.Steps to Reproduce:Populate a tree table using a custom TreeBuilder with data from a JSON file.Verify that the data is displayed on the tree table UI.Use the OOTB Export_file action to export the tree table to Excel.Observe that the Excel sheet shows only the headers without data.Here are the errors that I facedIssue with "Export List" Action on Custom Tree Table – No Data Exported

In my project there is a requirement to download secondary/primary content and attachments. I looked for endpoint to do this in WRS page and I cannot find anything. I searched in this platform and found some suggested java scripts to do this. I however currently have no idea how to implement it in windchill. I will be thankful for the guidance for this customization if someone already did it or have any idea. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.Kind regards,

Coming out of the PTC/User conference, a high ranking request has been getting a decent export out of Windchill for a TDP in an efficient manner. I know I have seen a number of solution offerings for this and many of you have already tackled this. The package framework is a great start but I have yet to find someone who likes the default output it provides.  Has anyone identified the code that controls how this zip file gets generated? Or have you taken the approach to modify it post creation? I can see this as being on of the hurdles to more adoption of this feature. It should be a customization point so we can tailor how the output is generated and even put company themes on the resulting html file.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We are trying to create a new attribute "Models Affected" which is a Text box under resulting objects of change task.

Hello All,I am looking for a way to provide the sequence to the Change Task through customization from the CN workflow. Is there any supported API which can be used to accomplish this?Regards,Karan

In our environment we have had multiple issues with users accidentally deleting a Workspace which contains changed (not checked out) and new objects by miss clicking upon activating a workspace.The Delete button is right next to the Activate button and both require an extra answer in a pop-up window:When Activating you must answer this question:And when Deleting you must answer this question:If your mindset is to activate the WS and you know you get the extra question to which you must answer YES, you are very likely to click on the OK button when you accidentally clicked on the Delete button.In other posts people have asked about recovering removed workspaces, but unless you have uploaded all your new and changed files, there is no way to restore these files. They are really gone.So now my question:Is there a way to customize the My Workspace view and remove the Delete function from  the Actions menu?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: For context, we are using Windchill+ which means we need to send CCD packages to PTC for deployment. This would also mean we cannot adjust certain settings and properties located in Windchill, as the PTC-managed deployment to TEST and PROD would cause issues. I created a custom java class that is called within a workflow. It has been compiled and deployed and is currently functioning in our dev system. I am now attempting to write unit tests for my custom java class. I have been following the customization guide, especially "Building and Deploying Tests in Development System", but while I attempt `ant compile.test`, it fails as it cannot find my package .Description: For context, we are using Windchill+ which means we need to send CCD packages to PTC for deployment.I created a custom java class that is called within a workflow.It is located in <\opt\ptc\windchill_customization\customModule\main\src\com\acme\customClass.java> as suggested in

Whenever an alternate link is created between 2 parts, a pop/warning message should appear saying "You are adding this as a global alternative. Consequently this Alternate part and will be introduced into all BOMs where the previous part is used"     How to achieve this?    

Leadership is wanting to swap from a alphanumerical revisioning system to a purely numerical system. They understand that the changes can not be retroactive to existing components but still want to make the change to future components. Is it possible to setup windchills versioning and iteration system to reflect this desired change? This change would also need to effective for new parts that are created (instead of being A.1 they would be 01.1). Ex:Part A.1 once revised under the new system would be 02.1 (B.1)Part C.5 once revised under the new system would be 04.1 (D.1)

When adding Replacement (substitute/alternate) to a specific Part , only a specific part should be available in selection list ( no other part type should be allowed)

Hi avillanueva,I need your assistance .Currently we are using Legal Value List and that list contains 1000+ values which are poll separated.We have random values like some values starts by Number some of them starts by ABC so we want to enhance the search capabilities so user can search by any numeric or characters value ,and then it will highlight in legal value list.Now if any value user want to selects then he needs to scroll complete list .For the same need a assistance which approach will be better .like if we can use DU to add searching criteria within same legal value list or any different approach for this things because here we add values in runtime from WC UI so need to think in that way .Please suggest the solution or approach to achieve this
