Nice manners. They go well with that snarky attitude.

Step 2: "What is a NameValueMap?"

SO.

 

Something like this will be the name value map. (I'm writing this in vb.net, whereas almost all of the samples use vba, and vb.net is what is used in the rule environment)

 

oSomeCustomLength = "24 in"

 

Dim oNVM As NameValueMap

oNVM = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap

 

oNVM.Value("LengthParamColumnNameFromContentCenterEditor") = oSomeCustomLength

 

 

To finish off, insert it back into the CreateFamilyMember line as the optional parameter that it is.
