Error message when using IManWorkspace.Update()

Noble

Sometimes I get an error message when I try to use the Update() method.
This is the message I get:

Monday, January 17, 2005 Kl. 9:9:45 - AddMatterToWorkspace: Error -
[Folders ][Update ]The operation is not allowed. - 05-00304

And this is the code that causes the error:

imDB = imSession.PreferredDatabase;
imWorkspace = (IManWorkspace) imDB.Workspaces.ItemByIndex(1);
imWorkspace.SetAttributeByID(iManage.WorkSite.imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom4,jobId);
imWorkspace.Update();

Does anyone know why this operation is not allowed?

I this a better way to do it?

imDB = imSession.PreferredDatabase;
imWorkspace = (IManWorkspace) imDB.Workspaces.ItemByIndex(1);
if (imWorkspace.AdditionalProperties.ContainsByName("iMan___28"))
{
imWorkspace.AdditionalProperties.RemoveByName("iMan___28");
}
imWorkspace.AdditionalProperties.Add("iMan___28",matterId);
imWorkspace.Update();

You should use the IManProfile.SetAttributeByID method instead, like so:

===========================================
// Get the workspace profile
IManProfile wsprofile = imWorkspace.Profile;
wsprofile.SetAttributeByID(iManage.WorkSite.imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom4,jobId);
// Or,
imWorkspace.Profile.SetAttributeByID(iManage.WorkSite.imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom4,jobId);

imWorkspace.Update();
===========================================

The only reason document folders rely on AdditionalProperties to adhere profile attributes is because a folder does not inherit IManProfiledFolder as a workspace does. IManWorkspace is the only WorkSite folder object currently inherits IManProfileFolder -- which essentially associates to an IManProfile.
