Aspose Cloud UpdateAll Fields not working

Aspose.Words Cloud Product Family
1

We have a file that we generated programmatically. That file has a ToC in it. When we attempt to open the file we are prompted to update fields (indicating that the dirty flag is set, AS IT SHOULD BE) If we say yes the ToC is generated and everything is great. SP (SharePoint) WAS (Word Automation Services) will update the fields and spit out a file with the ToC generated w/o the prompt. Your site indicates that Aspose SHOULD do the same but thus far our experience has been that the file either gets corrupted or the fields are not updated at all. We have tried using the nodejs example here (Update all field values in a Word document online|Documentation) with and without the dirty flag set to true and neither updates the ToC.

This begs the question, does Aspose actually support evaluating the pageRefs/page layout?

The API should update the TOC field. Please share your sample document with us. We will investigate the issue and guide you accordingly.

@tilal.ahmad is there any way for us to track the progress of that ticket?

I am afraid you cannot check the status of our internal ticket directly. However, please check the ticket status in the Issues Status window at the right bottom of the thread, or you can ask us for the update.

We believe we have identified the cause of the issue. It appears that you support evaluation of the paragraph property pstyle values but not the Run Property rStyle values. We are using run (<w:r>) property (<w:rPr>) rStyle (<w:rStyle>) values (w:val) to define our heading styles. MS Word handles this properly, Aspose Cloud does not, yet.

<w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rStyle w:val="Heading1Char"/>
    </w:rPr>

Is there any update on Aspose’s ToC support?

@gjblajian

We have investigated the issue and found that your sample document contains styles with the same name, and Aspose.Words does not support it at the moment. We have planned its fix in Aspose.Words for .NET. Once the issue is fixed in Aspose.Words for .NET, then it will be ported into Aspose.Words Cloud. We will notify you as soon as we resolve the issue.
