Yes, I’ve tried a few things but can’t get it to work either. I even looked at it in the Scripting Bridge and the Array representing the Custom Doc Properties is always empty…..
They seem to work ok in Word and Excel though.
One thing, I tried to create a new Custom Properties which I can get to work in Word but not in Excel, please see Scripts below.
on run
tell application id "com.microsoft.Word"
activate
set myDocument to the document of the front window
set myStandardProperties to the document properties of myDocument
delete (custom document property of myDocument whose name = "LTWCustom1")
make new custom document property at myDocument with properties {name:"LTWCustom1", value:"Value1", type:"text"}
set myCustomProperties to the custom document properties of myDocument
return "OK"
end tell
end run
Although the Make New works, the Delete doesn’t, do you have any idea how to delete one?
This is what I have for Excel, this one doesn’t work at all, I’m wondering if it’s possible to Create/Delete a new Custom Property in Excel?
on run
tell application id "com.microsoft.Excel"
activate
set myDocument to the active workbook
--set myStandardProperties to the document properties of myDocument
delete (custom document property of myDocument whose name = "LTWCustom1")
make new custom document property at myDocument with properties {name:"LTWCustom1", value:"Value1", type:"text"}
set myCustomProperties to the custom document properties of myDocument
return "OK"
end tell
end run
All the Best
