    Hi,

    I cannot find the way to set a TV value for many documents using DocManager.

    The site structure is like this :
    fr (49)
    +Category 1 (1)
    +Category 2 (56)
    +Category 3 (57)
    +Category 4 (94)
    +de (139)
    The + here indicates a parent document.
    All categories (and also subcategories) use a template named "Products".
    All leaves in the document tree are products and use a template name "Product" (without the "s").

    All templates have a TV named "tree_startId" which specifies the root for a treeview that is built with Wayfinder.
    I want the root to be "Category 2" for all the subcategories and products that are children of Category 2.
    And something similar for other categories.

    What I’m doing in DocManager :
    1) Select the TV tab.
    2) Click the radio button corresponding to the template (i.e. Products and also Product later)
    Here, the available TV are displayed.
    3) Set the "tree_startId" TV value. (For example 56 for the category 2 in the French part of the site)
    4) Set the id-range at the bottom of the page. (For example 56** to set the TV for node 56 and all its childs.)
    5) Click the "Send" button.
    Then, a list of child documents that does not use the template is listed.
    (I consider this normal as two types of templates are used.)

    ...and the "tree_startId" TV isn’t set for any of the documents using the specified template. huh

    Did I missed something ?

      My test gave the same results. I don’t think you missed anything. Maybe a bug in the docManager. I tried with text TV and checkbox and neither worked.

      BTW - I tested on 0963
