&lt;p&gt;Can someone assist me with this script? It is part of a larger script to create a Workarea, however I am trying to list sub folders from a template, write these to host and choose one to copy to destination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The script worked for PowerShell native and a set of folder so I then tried to adapt this to a set of PW folders, however when I run the script, rather than return the folder names I get the below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expected from PS native&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Folder1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Folder2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PW result&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1: PWPS_DAB.CommonTypes+ProjectWiseFolder&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not being a PowerShell or PW guru I do not see what is issue. Can anybody suggest issue or way to do this? Part of my script below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="powershell"&gt;# Define the destination directory where the selected folder will be copied
$destinationDirectory = (Join-Path -Path $ProjectNo -ChildPath &amp;#39;\4 Design\4.3 Master\Project_Seed_Files\&amp;#39;)

# List the available folders
$folderList = $sourceDirectories | ForEach-Object { Split-Path $_ -Leaf }

# Prompt the user to select a folder
$folderIndex = 0
do {
    Write-Host &amp;quot;Select a folder to copy:&amp;quot;
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $folderList.Count; $i++) {
        Write-Host &amp;quot;$($i + 1): $($folderList[$i])&amp;quot;
    }

    $folderIndex = Read-Host &amp;quot;Enter the corresponding number&amp;quot;
} while ([int]$folderIndex -lt 1 -or [int]$folderIndex -gt $folderList.Count)

# Get the selected folder
$selectedFolder = $folderList[$folderIndex - 1]
$sourceFolderPath = $sourceDirectories[$folderIndex - 1]
$destinationFolderPath = Join-Path -Path $destinationDirectory -ChildPath $selectedFolder&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Maybe a simple solution for someone who knows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have an attribute let&amp;#39;s say &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;quot; that currently does not have any code applied. The attribute is currently used to enter text. However, I have a checkbox &amp;quot;Checkbox1&amp;quot; and when this is &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; or checked, I would like &amp;quot;AtributeA&amp;quot; to equal the value of &amp;quot;AttributeB&amp;quot;. Then once I uncheck &amp;quot;Checkbox1&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;quot; retains the value that has been set, from &amp;quot;AttributeB&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought that something&amp;nbsp;as simple as the following&amp;nbsp;might work applied to &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SELECT CASE &lt;br /&gt;WHEN &amp;#39;$EDIT#Checkbox1$&amp;#39; = &amp;#39;1&amp;#39; &lt;br /&gt;THEN &amp;#39;$EDIT#AttributeB$&amp;#39; &lt;br /&gt;END&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This theory works when the checkbox is checked, it populates &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;quot; with value of &amp;quot;AttributeB&amp;quot;, however when you uncheck the checkbox &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;#39; is cleared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can someone help me to write something that when &amp;quot;AttributeA&amp;quot; is populated then checkbox is unchecked the current value of itself is not lost or cleared?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this makes sense...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Environment Attribute to display Document Name</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/projectwise/f/projectwise-di-forum/243257/environment-attribute-to-display-document-name</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Mar 2023 07:34:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0fd93e3d-a1db-4a79-afc8-c901bbedc2ae</guid><dc:creator>Lonnie Frater</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi All,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to create a new environment, however wanted to copy an existing interface &amp;quot;with attributes&amp;quot; as a basis for the new environment, in the same development database at this point (later when perfected to production). I tried copying, exporting etc. but just get a blank attributes tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there an easy way to do this? Or is PowerShell the only way.

&lt;p&gt;If PowerShell the only way, it would be handy is such scripts were templated and provided by Bentley.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

To open PW explorer to navigate, open a drawing, managed workspace updates etc. all take time. We are on a 500 Mbps connection with a cache server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I appreciate that PW is a database etc. but as soon as more that a few files are involved i.e. a drawing with a few references, it is slow. This does not appear to be a connectivity thing as I will illustrate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) copied up a folder with 923 pdf files most around 100kb, some up to 250kb, totaling 115Mb. This takes 15 minutes to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) copy up one singe Excel file 610Mb in size and it take 35 seconds. To open this file takes 15 seconds to get it down and excel launches and loads. So clearly it does not seem to be a network limitation, but&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Translate that to a drawing with 10 references,&amp;nbsp;because multiple files are involved, maybe not very big, but often takes many minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take it this is what everyone else see too?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We have a number of confidential project folders. I would like to apply specific folder permissions to a group applied to a sub folder and disable the inheritance for this user, if this possible?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So for example like this -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parent folder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Administrator - All permissions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Conf - Read/Write&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Accounts - Read only&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sub&amp;nbsp;folder A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Administrator - All permissions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Conf&amp;nbsp;- Read/Write&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Accounts - Read only&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sub&amp;nbsp;folder B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Administrator - All permissions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Conf&amp;nbsp;- Read/Write&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Account -&amp;nbsp;Deny&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So Ideally disable the inheritance on Sub folder A, Accounts Group. So any changes made to Parent folder permissions do no overwrite the individual permissions set on Sub folder A. I appreciate I can manually go through and do this, however I wish to apply it to a template and create projects from it and there will always be tweaks/additions required to new project so permissions are lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have the same issue when providing contractors access to a certain folder buried somewhere, the permissions above are changed for some reason and without realizing the individually applied permission on sub folder below i.e. the contractors permission are changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for any suggestions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
