If a document template uses the ${id} variable, the ID value is generated when a new document is based on that template.
Is it possible to call a custom ID generation ?

I tried by replacing with but it does not work.
Note: com.mycompany.oxygen.MyGenerateIDsOperation is defined as an action in my custom framework and is working OK from the menu.

Hello,

We currently do not support custom editor variables, so you cannot plug your own ID generation mechanism using only the editor variables support. We added an internal issue to add support for this kind of custom editor variables, and we will notify you once it will be implemented. But maybe you can resolve the ID generation by using a combination of our default editor variables. A list is available at [5].

Meanwhile you will have to use our Java API [1] to set the ID attribute. You can get a notification when a document is opened with [2] (framework level API) or [3],[4] (plugin level API).

Hi,

Just to update this thread, Oxygen 16.1 has this new Java API which can resolve any custom editor variable:

ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.util.UtilAccess.addCustomEditorVariablesResolver
