Range.UpdateFields ignores format switches for DOCPROPERTY fields

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

It looks like \* Lower, \* Upper and \* FirstCap format switches for DOCPROPERTY are not taken into account by the Range.UpdateFields method.

Here’s the code:

Dim AspLic As New Aspose.Words.License()
AspLic.SetLicense(Costanti.ASPOSE_LICENCE_PATH)

Dim AspDoc As New Aspose.Words.Document("c:\temp\updatewithword.doc")
AspDoc.Range.UpdateFields()
AspDoc.Save("c:\temp\updatewithaspose.doc",Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Doc)

I attached the two sample files used:

  • updatewithwords.doc : it has its fields updated by Microsoft Word and it can be seen that \* Lower, \* Upper and \* FirstCap are handled since the displayed field values are different.
  • updatewithaspose.doc : it has the fields updated by Aspose.Words but the format switches are not taken into account (property value has been written “as is”).

I tested with release 4.3.1.0 for .net 2.0.

It would be nice if your method would handle these switches.

Greetings,
Pascal.

This issue has been open for a while. Any progress?
We noticed that the current version (6.5) still does not support date time formatting in document properties. E.g.
DOCPROPERTY dateProp \@ "yyyy/MM/dd"
