Using activeview to change behavior at object creation time.

Activeview allows you to override the "Add Item Page" where you can add additional metadata fields. Has anyone tried using activeview to change the behavior of the object at creation? I'm looking specifically at changing the ACL of the new object based on the additional metedata value in Add Item Page. For example, if the metadata value is "Restricted" then do not inherit ACL from the parent but rather add new groups with their own perm level.

I know that WR Trigger can do this but WR Trigger is only after the fact where the object has been created. I'd rather hook this logic at object creation rather than rely on WR to execute afterwards in the event that the WR fails to execute.

I'm using CE20.4.

Thanks in advance.

A better answer could be expected if you posted in WR Forum. This primarily is about REST API and other API's of CS. While I don't do AV since it is a WR you may theoretically add in Ajax code that could result in what you want to do. the reason why people do it as Triggers or event callbacks is because then all interfaces consistently are able to do it. AV is restricted primarily through the classic UI. In many places people use different things to put items in CS (Classic GUI, SmartUI, EC,SOAP,REST etc...)

Thanks for the feedback. Will use the right Forum next time. Having a pre event callback would perfect. But the days of custom modules and patches are long gone. If you know of a way to do this through the interface I would love to know. What I'm looking to do is update the ACL as the object is being created. Any yes, looking for a way so that all interfaces will behave the same way and not just via the classic ui, if at all possible.
