Hi Jan, So somehow you would like an extension in the Attributes view from the Author page/mode, right? If the user clicks a certain attribute there and tries to edit it, he would be presented with a wizard for it. Right now we have some API on the document type customization side (and not on the plugin side):

ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.ExtensionsBundle.createAttributesValueEditor(boolean)

but such an attribute value editor (if you would overwrite the method in your custom DITAExtensionsBundle implementation) would be called for all attributes, so we do not have API to say that only a certain named attribute must be edited in the custom attributes value editor. I will add an improvement request for this. My suggested approach: What you could maybe do for now would be to hide that specific attribute in the attributes view using:

WSAuthorEditorPageBase.addAuthorAttributesDisplayFilter(AuthorAttributesDisplayFilter)

and maybe to add to the toolbar a special action for setting the attribute on the current element by showing a wizard. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 2/15/2013 10:27 AM, Jan Bevers wrote:

Hi

I have a custom attribute defined in my DITA customization called ‘ishcondition’. I’d like to capture when a user adds/edits this attribute so I can show a wizard.

How can I do this through the oXygen API?

Thanks in advance
