How to create a style sheet with custom fields?

Question

I want to create a style sheet (like paragraph style, text style, table style, etc.) which will hold certain values of attributes (like name, width, etc.). These values will be stored in the database and will be given a UID.

I should be able to access these values using that UID.

Is there a way to create this? If so, how can I code this?

Is this information present anywhre in the InDesign SDK?

Hi @user2307, can you please explain in more detail? For example, give a step-by-step description of an imaginary implementation of what you want, so that we can understand better. Such as "1. Log-in to [some server], 2. select styles to import (like CC libraries?)." Explain where the UID comes into that process, or tell us which database entity has the UID?

I have no experience with the SDK, so I can't help with that, but I'm pretty certain that no-one can help much without much more information. Depending on your requirements, maybe a scripting solution could be effective. Or even using CC Libraries to organize your styles.
