Hi all,

I'm playing around with Check out/in functionalities, and what I have noticed is that while through Alfresco I have a couple of options (example is "Check in changes and keep file checked out "), API does not directly support them. Is this something that is 'left out' on purpose, or is it not there since I'm able to do this by doing check in, and then check out, one after another?

Thank you,
Lista.

Hmmm, have not done this in Javascript, but in Java world there is a checkin() method with this signature:

public interface CheckOutCheckInService 
{
…
   public NodeRef checkin(
         NodeRef workingCopyNodeRef,
         Map<String,Serializable> versionProperties,
         String contentUrl,
         boolean keepCheckedOut);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

which should do what you want? Other options (version description, major/minor version update) may be contolled by passing appropriate versionProperties.
