[oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-15680] Re: Custom action to generate simple dialog?

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Radu,

Thanks! I'll play with the script parameter a bit more to see how that 
works.

It seems that the DocumentTypeInfo API is different than the 
DocumentTypeInformation API. I'm trying to get the active framework's 
"Description", which is available from DocumentTypeInfo.getDescription() 
but not DocumentTypeInformation.getDescription(). Interestingly, 
DocumentTypeInformation.getName() does work.

Any ideas on how to access the framework description from the 
authorAccess object?

Thanks,

Scott
