I use the following line to create webarchives from Applescript:
create record with {name:theName, type:webarchive, URL:theUrl, creation date:theCreation, tags:theTags} in theGroup
This works - except that the resulting record doesn’t contain any content. 
How can I create webarchives with content via Applescript?
Do I have to add the content in a 2nd Applescript step as “capture” via applescript - DEVONthink / Automation - DEVONtechnologies Community suggests?
Thanks for any pointers! 
You should consult DEVONthink’s AppleScript dictionary as well as look at the included scripts in the Download directory.
A simple example…
property theURL : "http://jacopastorius.com/life/"
tell application id "DNtp"
set currentLocation to current group
create web document from theURL in currentLocation
end tell
Thanks. Make sense - and works. 
One more question: create web document
returns a record id. How can I then change the other attributes of the record with that id to {name:theName, creation date:theCreation, tags:theTags}
?
I looked for something like change record with
but couldn’t find it. (I’m not an AppleScript expert.)
A teaching edition example…
set newRecord to (create web document from theURL in currentLocation)
set comment of newRecord to "This is a comment."
set label of newRecord to 1
…
Thanks a lot, Jim. Works as advertised - except for theCreation
:
set creation date of theRec to theCreation
doesn’t seem to do anything while it works in the original version
create record with {name:theName, type:webarchive, URL:theUrl, creation date:theCreation, tags:theTags} in theGroup
How do I set the creation (and preferably the modification) date to a given variable theCreation
?
