Hello @softboy99

I wanted to inform you that an enhancement suggestion to add methods for interacting with Fields was registered. Methods will be implemented in one of the future releases of Document Server.

14

Hi,
is it will be available in next major release 9.0?

15

It should be. As of now it is being verified. I will let you know once it becomes available.

Hello @softboy99

We have just released new version 9.0 of Document Server that brings new method AddField(code) for inserting a field into a document. Here is an example of usage of this method:

// This example adds the field to the specified range by field instruction code.
// Note: This method removes text within range.
let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let paragraph = doc.GetElement(0);
paragraph.AddText("This text for time field");
let range = paragraph.GetRange();
range.AddField('TIME \\@ "dddd, MMMM d, yyyy"');
paragraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
paragraph.AddText("The text within range was replaced by field with TIME instruction field.");
doc.Push(paragraph);

Pay attention to the way the code is defined – since the code itself contains double quotation marks in it, you need to wrap whole code into a single quotation marks to avoid issues.

Official documentation on this method will become available shortly.
