Business Rule to remove a category

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

We use assigned categories to search for classes of documents as they are moved from one folder to the next in the workflow process. But once we "approve" a revision and move the doc back UP to another folder, we want to REMOVE a category with a business rule. We can do it manually from the details view but how can we use a business rule to remove or delete a category from a document?

You can write a script (JavaScript) rule that removes the category. Nodes that have a category assigned to them have the 'cm:generalclassifiable' aspect on them and the categories assigned are stored in the multi-value property called 'cm:categories'. You can manipulate (clear) that property in the javascript rule.
