Am I alone in wishing @picklist (when using [Custom]) had support for the [RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID] keyword?

It really would be easier than having to modify views to include a hidden unid column.

So why don’t you use LotusScript.

Set notesDocumentCollection = notesUIWorkspace.PickListCollection( PICKLIST_CUSTOM , [ multipleSelection ] [, server$ ] [, databaseFileName$ ] [, viewName$ ] [, title$ ] [, prompt$ ] [, Singlecategory$ ] )

You get then a notesdocumentcollection and can acess the first UNID with

set docFirst = notesdocumentcollection.getFirstDocument

==> docFirst.UniversalID => UNID

Maybe because it isn’t Formula Language, and it would be really nice to use Formula Language if you’re coding in an area that requires Formula Language? that’s just a guess, but I figure it’s pretty close to being on the right track.

Or maybe because like so many people, when I get into a groove (read: rut) using one language, I sometimes fail to see the other options available to me.

I use LS all day long for some things, but tend to use formula for client UI stuff (it IS a LOT faster to write than LS for MANY things).

Thanks for the help Marco & Stan.
