    PropertyType.Save doesn't seems to work anymore

    API Questions

    Hello, I'm currently trying to use the following code to update a DocumentType properties programmatically. I get the property from the correct ContentType by alias then I update properties and call Save(). but it seems that updated value //get property var property = contentType.getPropertyType(propertyAlias); // updating property.Name = propertyName; property.Mandatory = propAttr.Mandatory; property.ValidationRegExp = propAttr.ValidationRegExp; property.Description = propAttr.Description; property.SortOrder = propertySortOrder; property.Save(); But it seem that update is not made since when I look at the backend or in the database for this property calue is still the same. I test the backend to be sur that everything is fine and property updates is OK from there. Thanks per advance for your time. David

    Hello,

    Where in the code do you try to update a documenttype? Some events have changed so some things won't work anymore in the beforesave or aftersave event.

    Crap formatting didn't work here is my code :-) :

    //get contentType
var docType = DocumentType.GetByAlias(docTypeAlias);
var contentType = docType as ContentType;

//get property
var property = contentType.getPropertyType(propertyAlias);

//properties filling
property.Name = propertyName;
property.Mandatory = propAttr.Mandatory;
property.ValidationRegExp = propAttr.ValidationRegExp;
property.Description = propAttr.Description;
property.SortOrder = propertySortOrder;

property.Save();

docType.Save();

    I didn't save anything regarding documentType I only try to change sortOrder and some other property value.

    Should I do something with the contentType reference I get.

    I don't use the new ContentTypeService to do my change but the legacy API.

    Hope this helps
