RE: Restricting Graphics based on state

Hi,

that´s a very nice idea. I see it benefits. There may be a couple of ways to solve this one.

I am not sure if this one is easier to achieve by codetree modification or by a custom renderer/content generator for the Graphic element.

When you just want to do this check when "adding" and Graphic, this codetree file could be of interest:
..\Innovator\Client\Modules\aras.innovator.TDF\Scripts\Aras\Client\Controls\TechDoc\Action\AddElementAction.js

The Method contains the call for the image picker around line 343. Maybe you can add a filter argument to the image picker or add some kind of restrictions to the image handling done around line 90.

Or the most easy approach: Make lifecycle based permissions for your tp_graphics. As soon as an image is obsolete, the images will not be available for endusers. But I am not sure how this will affect existing docs.
