Enabling and disabling custom fields using SDK

David_ISA

Is there any way, using the Worksite SDK, to enable and disable the custom field values? eg. custom1 and custom2.

I know you can set the enabled flag on a custom field value when you create it using the imanadmin.dll but you can't seem to enable or disable an existing value.

Thanks in advance.

Below is a sample code snippet that uses the ModifyParentCustomField method to make changes to the specified custom attributes. The last Boolean Parameter is used to enable/disable the field.

You must have IManAdmin.dll v8.0.4 and forwards in order to be able to consume these methods.

[VB.NET]
Dim aDMS As New IMANADMIN.NRTDMS
Dim aSess As NRTSession = aDMS.Sessions.Add("")
aSess.Login("", "")
Dim adb As NRTDatabase = aSess.Databases.Item("")
'Dim adb As INRTDatabase2 = aSess.Databases.Item("")//Use in 8.0.4 and 8.1

' Update parent field; arbitrary example values
Dim curClient = "MY_CLIENT"
Dim newClient = "AUTO"
Dim newClientDesc = "Automobile"
adb.ModifyParentCustomField(AttributeID.nrCustom1, curClient, newClient, newClientDesc, True)

' Update child field
Dim curMatter = "MY_MATTER"
Dim newMatter = "SUV"
Dim newMatterDesc = "Sports Utility Truck"
adb.ModifyChildCustomField(AttributeID.nrCustom2, curClient, curMatter, newClient, newMatter, newMatterDesc, True)
