I have implemented a way to create custom property definitions dynamically.
The prperty definitions are created when the user clicks edit in the console.
When the user clicks "save" values are stored in the newly created custom
properties.

The only problem is that the method fails when a posting is locked by
someone else. When creating the custom property definitions I get an
exception with the text:
"Cannot modify object. The object is already checked out by another user on
another server."

I have experimented a bit with ReleaseOwnership, but I have sort of lost the
big picture about wat's safe an correct to do.

Any suggestions?

Hi Nikolaj,

so you mean it happens when you update the template definition?

Cheers,
Stefan.

There is no way to add it to the posting without modifying the template
definition.
Is this what you are doing?

Cheers,
Stefan.

It is creating the new custom property definitions that causes the
exception.
Not modifying existing Custom Properties.
The user is administrator. (Unless I'm doing something else wrong).

Hi Nikolaj,

actually if you modify the custom property with a user role higher
than
author this will work without any problems.
Only authors are locked against each others access.

Maybe this is a solution?

Authors cannot release the ownership of an item that is locked by
someone
else - so this would not be a solution anyway.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Nikolaj,

So the error is raised when the Template definition is checked out and being
worked on by another user?

I dont know if it is a very good practice to be checking in templates
automatically as some developers may be making changes to them at the time;
but here is how I think you could do it anyway.
---
Could you not check if the template definition is currently checked out;

if it is checked out; authenticate as an administrator(?) check the template
definition back in and do the modification?

if it is checked in: Just do the modification;

Then Commit the transaction.

Regards

Thanks for your answers. I'm still puzzled

- The changes are made to the template definition.
- The template definition is not checked out.
- The exception only occur when the posting is checked out to another user.
