Cannot save extended attributes when creating a document

[josiah.wilkerson]

I'm creating a document and trying to save some extended attributes along with it. However, the response from the create doesn't include my attributes, neither do I see them when looking at the document via the web console. I get no errors when calling document create, and everything else seems to be working properly.

Code: Select all

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:doc="http://document.webservice.logicaldoc.com/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>

         <document>
            <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->

To have all the properties compiled from WebServices you need to call the method getDocument

[josiah.wilkerson]

I was able to accomplish this by first defining a template in the admin console with the attributes I'm interested in. Then, I had to include the template ID in the document create operation. Is there a way to set extended attributes without using a template?

[mmeschieri]

No no way, when using extended attributes you have to refer to a valid template.
