Adding a new field to an existing Validation Script

How to add a new field to an existing Validation Script?

Solution

New Fields added to a Document Class are not automatically added to a VB.NET Validation script.
This is a manual operation done in the script code. At the top of the VB script file, you will notice several declarations that look like this:

Namespace testAAA


<SuppressFieldEventsOnDocClose(false)> _
Public Class testAAA
Inherits DocumentValidationScript
<IndexFieldVariableAttribute("Name0")> _
Dim WithEvents Name0 As FieldScript


<IndexFieldVariableAttribute("Name1")> _
Dim WithEvents Name1 As FieldScript


<IndexFieldVariableAttribute("Name2")> _
Dim WithEvents Name2 As FieldScript


<IndexFieldVariableAttribute("Name3")> _
Dim WithEvents Name3 As FieldScript


<IndexFieldVariableAttribute("Name4")> _
Dim WithEvents Name4 As FieldScript

To add the new Field, simply copy one of these declarations and replace the Field name with the new.
