I haven't tried to export and import DXL. I have manually tried to change DXL and it changed the DXL but not the form properties that I was working with. So I stopped.

This looks a lot more involved than what it would require if the language is extended.

1) Can anyone recommend one article on importing and exporting DXL (Though looks complicated)?

2) Is there a path to request an enhancement ? It should be much simpler in my opinion..

Thanks !

'Is there a path to request an enhancement ? It should be much simpler in my opinion'

These two statements resulted in what is known as 'a spit take'...luckily I missed my cpu...

The new feature request process starts with two chickens raised in a sterile bubble and fed only gold leaf covered organic non-GMO ancient grains raised by identical quintuplets born at 01:01:01 on the day of the 5th full moon of the year in a month with two full moons...it gets harder after that...

Sorry, all snark aside, change comes slow in this world. The platform is amazing and I really love it but new takes time so don't expect this to just show up tomorrow...

I don't do DXL so I can't provide code. If someone posts some specific resources, great, in the meantime:

So it's possible... :)

For example, I've complained here (because the forum feedback system constantly rejects my attempts to submit as I am unauthorized) about the weird double post thing that happens to some of us that doesn't happen in the 6/7 or 8 forum...as you can see...oh wait...still borked.

More seriously, I really do love Notes; I've made a good living doing design work for more than 20 years. The platform is flexible, easy to use, and offers lots of built in stuff that you generally need to build out in other environments (can you say security and replication?).

New features additions are incremental. I'd guess what you ask for is not a 'point release new feature' but would be something that might happen in R10 or later IF you can get anyone's attention and get it in queue. Your best bet might be to go to IBM Connect this winter and meet with the project managers; they're generally quite available and love to talk to folks. There are usually open sessions for Q&A, again, the folks are just awesome in these environments.

There may also be third party tools that could assist. I only use TeamStudio Configurator but there are a few high quality tool shops so poke around and see what pops up.

You could also see if there's anything at OpenNTF.org.

Good luck.

I do remember that back in what, 2007? IBM committed to exporting all attributes via DXL. And they are out there, don't get me wrong.

While hide-whens are um, there, I remember they're not particularly easy to access. I'm not sure what my particular issue was, but I couldn't get 'em to load into the element structure of the DOM objects. Or maybe (better for you) the callback wasn't firing at the right time to take advantage of the hide-when, very easily.

=shrug=, in any event, manipulating and rewriting the DXL is a little tricky, I remember that.
