My use case is this: As an author, I want to update the metadata of a Tridion Docs Object (e.g., a DITA bookmap) via the Properties menu in Tridion Docs. The update should then be written in the object XML (e.g., a DITA bookmap metadata element).
Following the RWS documentation here, I have a plugin to do this, but I can only get the Properties update to reflect in the Object XML if I check out and check in the object after making the Properties update.
The process I follow is below:
- Update the object Properties
- Check out the object
- Check in the object
- Open the object in an XML editor to see the change has been made.
The ideal process would be:
- Update the object Properties
- Open the object in an XML editor to see the change has been made.
Is it possible to achieve my "ideal" process? I would assume if the CurrenAction condition is set to 'Update', it would, but I can only get the XML to reflect the Properties update if the CurrentAction includes 'Checkin'.
