Copying values of inherited attributes

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to do 2 things,

1. Copy the values of inherited child folder attributes from Parent folder. That means copy the values of inherited attributes from Parent to child folder every time a folder is created.

2. If there is any change in the Parent folder attribute value then values in all the child folder attributes (which are inherited) should also be updated.

As far as I know this can be achieved via TBO , Can anyone please provide me the code for this.

Cheers

Hello,

What values are you talking about? acls, names, title ?

I am talking about inherited custom attributes values from parent to child folder

Francois Dauberlieu

There's an example doing just that in the archoves (found the bottom left of the overview of this community)

Francois,

I could find the code but that is for linking a document to a folder.

I need the code to copy the attributes values from parent folder to child folder...

Which method i need to override?

Can someone pls share me the code.

1) You can accomplish using WDK Preset feature

2) I remember seeing some sample code for this on EDN. Have you tried searching for it?

Thanks for replying.

Johnny,

I couldn't find anything on Presets as one of the solution. Is it really possible through Presets ?

Could you please guide me or elaborate a bit on preset solution.

Also regarding the sample code , I did look into it , I was just wondering that when will the values be actually copied from parent folder.

Will the user be able to see the inherited/copied values while he creates the folder for the first time ?

Or the values will be visible to user only when he clicks the folder icon the secon time (i.e. after creating the folder) ?

Cheers.

Presets are documented in the WDK User Manual. As for the sample code, there should be a read me associated with the sample code that describes how the code has been implemented.
