Is it possible to import files into Tridion without changing the title?

Cobina Price-Jones

I want to replace UI elements (uicontrol and wintitle) with variables. I have a topic with a title "<wintitle>BPC Options</wintitle> Dialog". See BPC Options Dialog-no-variable=GUID-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx=4=EN=.xml. Its title in the database is "BPC Options Dialog". I downloaded the file and replaced the "BPC Options" with a variable with a script (I want to be able to process many files, so we created a script). See BPC Options Dialog-variable=GUID-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx=4=EN=.xml. Then I imported the file with Content Importer (Standard Import/Repository Content). See the image of the Content Importer. Then name of the topic in the database changes to "Dialog" (the variable is ignored). Is there a way to prevent the topic name from changing?

Screenshot showing a list of topics in Trados Studio with the topic name 'Dialog' selected, indicating the variable replacement issue.

    Hi Cobina,

    Varrefs are resolved only in the context of a Tridion Docs publication via a topic with a matching 'varid' attribute added to the publication's "Resources" folder. Content Importer operates outside of the context of a publication, so it has no means of correctly resolving a varref value. The varref attribute tells Tridion Docs to replace the contents of that element with the resolved value. In this case, since it cannot resolve the value, the element is retuned empty (as the self-closing <wintitle /> in your example), which is why it alters the previous value in your repository.
