This should be possible using FormAPI.

If you have TeamSite Templating 5.5.2 on your server, check out http://servername/iw/help/tst/formapi/ - there's a fair amount of information there, and it would be better if you read that first and then asked questions.

If you don't have 5.5.2 installed - I believe the above documentation is also available on the Interwoven Support site https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=48964

Actually you might want to take a look at the KB even if you do have 5.5.2 installed.

I read the Form Api documentation and i wrote a perl script inside the <script> tags with opening and closing CDATA.
What i mean by example was I have a variable where my current date and time are set and its called $CurrentDateTime.
My question is how would i call variable in the replicant item tags of dct. Is perl script allowed in DCT?

I don't have concrete answers - as this is not my area of expertise - but I think you might be able to use a combination of methods such as: the event onItemChange and IWItem.getChildren() to ascertain if/when the number of replicants for a given container have changed and to check to see if the value associated with each replicant has a date item with a "good" value or some such.

I realize the above is rather vague - hopefully it will trigger some ideas for you and/or others reading this forum.

I looked at previous forms and found something similar to my problem and used the example to call my .ipl file but i got the following error while trying to pull up the dcr

A MessageException was thrown: com.interwoven.clientutils100.TMessageException: Error building the requirements for java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@e43fe: CreateProcess: perl \iwtest/iw-home/local/bin/currentdate.ipl error=2

note i am on windowsnt server.
can anyone help please!!

The path for the process it was trying to create looks a bit suspect - (1) is perl [or better, iwperl] on the System PATH? (2) I'd think you'd need a drive letter before "\iwtest" (3) I'm a little confused as to why the first slash is '\' and the rest are '/' [I prefer to use '/' as it is generally portable between Windows and Unix within Perl, Java, and I believe JavaScript]

Sorry - no answers - but hopefully the questions will lead to the answer...

Register an event whenever user clicks on "+" sign(adds replicant). The event is an OnReplicantAdded or you might use OnReplicantBeforeAdd, and then display the current date and time using javascript .write function. Please read the formAPI manual for the exact syntax of the above two functions.

oops just read, you can use OnReplicantDelete /OnReplicantBeforeMove/OnReplicantMoved for any action on the replicant.
