Hi @poslatosenac,

There's a good example of schedule creation in the SDK (refer to the second post in this forum if you need help finding that).

The function to search for is GetSchedulableFields.

It returns an  IList of SchedulableField.

Use SchedulableField.GetName(doc) to return the parameter name and compare that to the name of the shared parameter you want to add.

If your parameter isn't there, it can't be scheduled (in that schedule).

Cheers,

-Matt

Hi @poslatosenac,

You're so funny.

The only thing missing from the SDK example is something like this:

Dim field1 As DB.SchedulableField = _
	schedulableFields.Where(Function(sf) _
		sf.GetName(doc) = "Name of Shared Parameter").FirstOrDefault

If the learning curve to get this going is too steep, then you may want to do some self-learning first.
