The FileTypeId is null after scanning in Trados 2024 when using the API. The FileTypeId cannot be assigned, it is read only
The problem persits even if create new FileTypeId for HTM with File > Options.
It is not possible to assign it.
Please help. It is an urgent problem. We cannot process HTML files.

When I call the File Types form the API, HTML5 is missing. When I check with Trados Studio HTML5 is present.
Studio has approx 35 Files Types, API has only 21.
It does not resolve the problem!

Hi everbody,
The code for my API has been running since 2015 and has worked with all versions except the new 2024 version. The output path is not the issue.
The problem is that the FileTypeId is null for HTML files, and since it is set internally, I cannot assign it in my code.
// Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Core, Version=18.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
// Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Core.ProjectFile
public string FileTypeId { get; internal set; }
To clarify the issue again:
//Create a Word file...
string strFilePath_TestFile_Docx = Path.Combine(strDirPath_PackagesCreateTmp_TestTradosProjectCreation, "TestTrados.docx");
WordApplication oWordApplication = new WordApplication();
var oWordDoc = oWordApplication.Documents.Open(strFilePath_TestFile_Docx);
Paragraph para = oWordDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add();
para.Range.Text = "This is a test text added programmatically.";
para.Range.InsertParagraphAfter();
oWordDoc.SaveAs2(strFilePath_TestFile_Docx);
//Create a HTML file
string strFilePath_TestFile_Html = Path.Combine(strDirPath_PackagesCreateTmp_TestTradosProjectCreation, "TestTrados.html");
string strHtmlContent = @"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en-GB'>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
<title>Minimal HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is a minimal HTML page created in C#.</p>
</body>
</html>";
File.WriteAllText(strFilePath_TestFile_Html, strHtmlContent);
//Create Project info and check if the source language is assigned
SdlProjectInfo oProjectInfo = CheckProjectCreation_GetProjectInfo(strDirPath_PackagesCreateTmp);
if (Directory.Exists(oProjectInfo.LocalProjectFolder))
{
TTN_FunUtil.CleanDirectory(oProjectInfo.LocalProjectFolder);
}
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time("Project source language: " + oProjectInfo.SourceLanguage);
//Add the docx and the html files
string[] strArrFiles = CheckProjectCreation_AddProjectFiles(strDirPath_PackagesCreateTmp_TestTradosProjectCreation);
SdlProjectFile[] oArrSdlProjectFile = oFileBasedProject.AddFiles(strArrFiles);
//Scan Files
Guid[] oIds = oFileBasedProject.GetSourceLanguageFiles().GetIds();
foreach (var oGuid in oIds)
{
List<SdlTaskStatusEventArgs> taskStatusEventArgsList_Scan = new List<SdlTaskStatusEventArgs>();
List<SdlMessageEventArgs> messageEventArgsList_Scan = new List<SdlMessageEventArgs>();
List<Guid> oIdList = new List<Guid> { oGuid };
Guid[] oArrId = oIdList.ToArray();
SdlAutomaticTask scanFiles = oFileBasedProject.RunAutomaticTask(
oArrId,
SdlAutomaticTaskTemplateIds.Scan,
(sender, taskStatusArgs) => taskStatusEventArgsList_Scan.Add(taskStatusArgs),
(sender, messageArgs) => messageEventArgsList_Scan.Add(messageArgs));
if (scanFiles.Status != SdlTaskStatus.Completed)
throw new Exception("Failed to scan files");
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time(taskStatusEventArgsList_Scan[taskStatusEventArgsList_Scan.Count - 1].StatusMessage);
foreach (var oMessage in messageEventArgsList_Scan)
{
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time(oMessage.Message.Message);
}
}
//Check scanned files
SdlProjectFile[] oArrSdlProjectFileSource_Check = oFileBasedProject.GetSourceLanguageFiles();
foreach (SdlProjectFile oSdlProjectFileSource in oArrSdlProjectFileSource_Check)
{
if (oSdlProjectFileSource.FileTypeId == null)
{
string strExt = Path.GetExtension(oSdlProjectFileSource.Name);
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time("
FileTypeId is null for " + strExt + " after run SdlAutomaticTaskTemplateIds.Scan");
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time(" The Role was set to " + oSdlProjectFileSource.Role);
TT_oTTN_Show.ShowLog_wo_Time(" The Language is " + oSdlProjectFileSource.Language);
}

The .docx files are working perfectly, but processing HTML files results in a critical error.
If no solution is proposed, I will create a standalone application to isolate the issue with the code shown above.
This is an urgent problem. We are dealing with natural hazards (storms, floods), and our inability to process HTML files is impacting our operations.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Patrick
output path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18\
In Studio HTML 5 is activated and on the top:
The File Types can be loaded and HTML5 is enabled
Here is the code:
This code produces this output:
The sample code that I found on your site is already part of our programm and I would not help. In order to test each function, we developped a hohle workbench. 
I try to extract the code now and I will send you my sample code by mail.

Hi Patrick
I have created a standalone application in order to reproduce the strange bug,
