Subject: Notes 8 cannot access existing notes RichTextItems

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes 8 Client

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.0.1

Reproducible: Always

For instance, try the following code, underneath a button, on a document that has a field called design_system_changes:

Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim domSession As New NotesSession
Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rtitem As Variant
'.set value of doc...
Set doc = uidoc.Document
Set rtitem = doc.GetFirstItem( "design_system_changes" )
Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 1 )
Call rtitem.AppendText _
( "Book is 64 pages, full color." )
Call doc.Save( False, True )

End Sub

Expected result: design_system_changes is set with the words
Book is 64 pages, full color.

Actual Result:
Nothing.
