RE: Tech Doc Content automation from CUI Method Call

Ya I was, although it went much different than expected.

I am using JavaScript instead of C# for this method.

I ended up building out the content via an XML document within the cache and then storing that in tp_block's column 'content'. Getting this data to conform to the Technical Documentation renderer was difficult, for example I needed to individually set each XML node's ID for tables & rows, and had to ensure my xml nodes were cleanly appended, in the end mimicing XML which would be created by Aras when using the technical documentation UI.

Best Regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,

were you able to find a solution already?

I haven´t fully understand what you want to build, but you should be able to add the custom elements.

The root element can be fetched like this:

string docId = executionContext.DocumentId;
Innovator inn = this.Factory.InnovatorInstance;
Item thisDoc = inn.getItemById("tp_Block", docId);
