JS import - SOLVED setting date field, SOLVED adding to collection

[Kevin Walsh]

Dear Karel,

thanks for your answer. Using it (and the brain of one of our developers), I found the solution of automating the import of a document with a "date" field.
Here for everyone, who may want to try the same:
       document.setField("Date", new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("$DATE"));
We take the $DATE as a string from the file name to be imported.e.g. "2012-04-16".


Your answer regarding adding the document to a collection solved my 'problem' perfectly, but was missing the last ")". The code would be e.g.:
        document.addToCollection(repository.getCollectionManager().getCollection(("QA"),false));

Again: thanks a lot!

Kind regards

For dates, use date objects, not strings. Hence:
document.setField("Date", new Date());

For collections, you need a DocumentCollection:

document.addToCollection(repository.getCollectionManager().getCollection("name-or-id"),
false);
