Data Standard, Vault, modify CreateFile function to select folder in which file is created

cdellea — Tue, 24 May 2022 15:18:13 GMT

Is it possible to modify the CreateFile function (CreateFile.ps1 and addinVault\Default.ps1) in Vault (right click on a Vault folder) to specify another folder where to create the file ?

Have done all modification that allow to select / create the wanted folder. But file is still created in the selected folder before the command is launched.

In my code, I set $Prop["_FilePath"].Value with the Vault folder in which I want the file to be created. But this is not working.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Colin

There is a default function prepared to implement customizations: Create a customization copy of the Default.ps1 file in .\Vault.Custom\addinVault\ and implement the logic you need in this pre-defined function:

# This function can be used to force a specific folder when using "New Standard File" or "New Standard Folder" functions. # If an empty string is returned the selected folder is used # ! Do not remove the function function GetParentFolderName { $folderName = "" return $folderName }
