Set Constants for a single Documentation(not Proj)

[Niy]

Hi,

does anyone of you know a way to set some constants for a single Documentation?
We have a project with more than one documentationfolder, and the DocIDs of each document need to be unique (and be set prior to the documentation template run, I know how I can set Fieldfunctions and later add the DocID in Word, but that's not what I want).
Tagged Values kinda work, but you can't add a tagged-value-field into the firstpage-header (or at least I couldn't).

Any help would be appreciated

edit: EA 8.0, if you found a nice EA9 trick, it wouldn't help much  :-/

Well it won't help much, but EA 9.x does have the ability to set project constants that can be used during document generation across templates.  They can also be exported and imported between different project repositories.

The project constants work in EA 8 too, but they are for the whole project.
I need constants for a single Documentation-Folder

Create an Add-In which writs your actual projConstants into a string.
then calls your desired Items from the Repository and Write them into your ProjConstants.
Then call the reportgeneration and create the Document.
Afterwards you can write your old projconstants back into the repository.

Improvement: create an information for all the templates you need and add them into the add-in(see above). Than you get different informations for different templates.

Best regards
