Computed Multi-value Reader/Author

Hi,I have a form with a computed multi-value Authors field. The field formula specifies, the originator, the manager (selected by the originator from the address book), the hr manager.

However, I only want these 3 people to have Reader access to the documents as well. I’ve tried putting the same formula in the computed multi-value Readers field as the Authors field, but when I try and save the document as one of the Authors, it says → “You are not authorized to perform that operation.” I then used a different approach: I change the Readers field to Editable and set it via pressing a button, using @SetField. This works, but would rather want it as a computed field.

The only problem as well, when I create a document, it has an automatic sequential number system running. As soon as someone else creates a new document, it sets the value back to 1 again. But if I create another document, it sets it to 2. It seems to create sequential numbering for each person. When I remove the Readers field, the sequential numbering works perfectly.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Authors and readers in multi value fields don’'t work if there are holes in the list, like if if have a tick box to select readers and only select 1,3, and 5 from the list. You will need to do a trim on them before computing to teh real readers field

A profile document (not user-specific) works perfectly for doc numbering in a reader field environment.

If teh sequesntial numbering is based on reading the last saved doc number, it won’t work, as the guy that cannot read the last doc, cannot actually see it either. Readers make the doc invisible not jusr “read-proof”, so your code won’t know the previous doc exists either. Try using an external doc instead.
