Update reader field with an agent

Yes, there is a field attribut telling the field it is a Readers field.
You have to set this options too.
Like this:
Call item.AppendToTextList( "Jeffrey Kinnamon" )
item.IsReaders = True
Call doc.Save( True, False )

Good luck,
Zvonko

Make sure your field type is set to READERS. Check how you are creating and/or updating the field. If you use:

Set field = New NotesItem(doc,field,"Admins",READERS)

that should make it a Readers field. You can also use NotesItem.IsReaders property to check to see if the field has the READERS type.

Check the document properties box for this field - I suspect it does not have the READERS property set. If not, you must set it in your agent as described above.

Hope this helps.

Hello Zvonko,

Your comment was not there when I started writing....

Cheers,

Is there a way to do it with Formula ?

It's ok.

I was only confused how in your example the variable "field" can be at same time NotesItem and String :-)

I can not get ride of the assumption that h2o is Steamer :-)

Buddy you know that this would be dangerous game?

It is possible in Formula,

Here is the sample code, which appends the a user to the readers field in canonical format

FIELD Readers := Readers : @Name([Canonicalize];"TestID/Company")

Also make your readers field as Computed, with default value as

Default Readers := @UserName;
Readers

Thanx

works great , except that the Rader's are added it to the field. How can I change it so I replace the contents instead of adding it to the list of users already present in the reader's field.
I tried to delete the field using @Deletefield first , but apparently my agent executes the Delete at the end of the agent. I could do it with 2 agents but I guess there's a more elegant way to do it.
