I also tried the code...

my_obj = getattr(context, id) my_obj.manageAddProperty('my_keywords', user_keywords, 'multiple selection', context.select_keywords) .. which, when run, prompted the following error message: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

A python script is attempting to add a DTML Document to a folder. The folder has a property called "select_keywords" which, as the name implies, is a list of keywords for the user.

A form is in the folder to allow the user to add informaiton. In the form is a list of the keywords from the select_keywords property of the form (the parameter is called 'user_keywords'). The user can then select the appropriate keywords and press the Submit button.

The python script then creates a new DTML Document object and then attempts to add a multiple selection property to the new DTML Document object. In doing so, the object is created, but there is no link to the newly created multiple select property (called my_keywords) and the select_keywords property.

The code...

my_obj = getattr(context, id) my_obj.manageAddProperty('my_keywords', user_keywords, 'multiple selection', select_keywords)

... runs correctly, but the link between my_keywords and select_keywords is nott established, so Zope cannot use that field.

The code...

my_obj = getattr(context, id) my_obj.manageAddProperty('my_keywords', user_keywords, 'multiple selection', select_variable='select_keywords')

... generates an error (complaining about "select_variable").

Does anyone know the trick to make this work properly?

Thanks in advance,

Ron

select_variable = select_keywords
