Hi,

You can do that by creating the ST dynamically like below:

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(<attributename>);

// Your attribute info

ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();

IModifiableSimpleValueSet vs = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

vs.put(<key>,<value>);

vs.put(<key>,<value>);

thanks & regards,

Manoj

Hi,

You mean to say you have an attribute of String type and a ST created at design time and now at run-time you want to convert the datatype of the attribute into the created ST. I dont think that it is possible.

If you want to the same at the design time only then you can always select the type from the dictionary after creating the ST.

thanks & regards,

Hi,

You can change this by

Create a dictionary simple type of type string

Go to the enumeration tab

Add new values.
