Question

How do I find the Allowed Data Range for an element definition

I'm using FrameMaker 2017 and ExtendScript. In my EDD I have an element that has its content defined as INTEGER. It also has an allowable range defined, in this case it's 'From 2 To 11'. This all works just fine in the EDD and in the structured documents.

When I try to handle the data range definition through ExtendScript there is no way to get the ElementDef.AllowedDataRange. It is mentioned in the scripting guide, but is not available in the ESTK. Any thoughts before I post a bug report?

Hi Ian,

Testing with FM2015, I see the same thing. For fun, I tried it with the FDK and it worked OK. But I don't see the property anywhere in ES.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for looking at this. I've posted a bug: FRMAKER-3653. I hope it gets a few votes...
