Custom Document Properties (Yes/No Field)

I am setting custom document properties for a property that has a type of Yes/No.
Why does this command not work? It is setting it properly in code, but does not take in the Word document. Using C#

Document doc = new Document(templateFilePath);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties["~IsStrong"].Value = true;

Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I tested this on my side and it seems all works fine. I used the same code as you use.

Document doc = new Document(@"Test064\in.doc");
doc.CustomDocumentProperties["test"].Value = false;
doc.Range.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(@"Test064\out.doc");

Maybe you also should update fields (see highlighted line).
Also please attach your document for testing.
Best regards.

I do have a doc.Range.UpdateFields(); command.
In this code, the document is created with custom document properties IsNew, IsNew2 and IsNew3.
When I examine the actual document, the custom document properties has: IsNew = No; IsNew2=Yes; IsNew3=Yes; The only difference, is that IsNew was an existing document property before the Clear command. The .Remove command does not help.
Code

doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Remove("~IsNew");
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Clear();
doc.Range.UpdateFields();
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("~IsNew", true);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("~IsNew2", true);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("~IsNew3", true);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties["~IsNew"].Value = true; 
doc.Range.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(Program.inProgressDir + jobDetail.documentSaveName, SaveFormat.Doc);

Here is a sample document for testing

Hi
Thank you for additional information. I still can’t reproduce this issue. Here is code ia used for testing.

Document doc = new Document(@"Test064\LR+LB+ft+0815-019_LB(13357).doc");
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("~IsNew2", true);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("~IsNew3", true);
doc.CustomDocumentProperties["~IsNew"].Value = true; 
doc.Range.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(@"Test064\out.doc");

In the output document I get the expected result - IsNew = Yes; IsNew2=Yes; IsNew3=Yes.
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Aspose.Words. I use 5.2.2 version for testing.
Best regards.

I was using 5.1.1. Updated to 5.2.2. Same problem.
Then I discovered that there is a Word Macro that is setting “~IsNew” to false when the document is closed. Problem solved. Sorry to put you thru this problem. A bit embarrassed. Regards,
