Any alternative for findfoldersbyname()

In addition to what Umesh Patel said, can you tell us more about why you need an alternative function?

Thanks for responding, Actually contentfunctions plugin is deprecated hence I need any alternative for findfoldersbyname() function.

To specify more about my requirement, end users of my application upload some documents while raising a request, during the flow we are creating a folder with name as ID of this request and we will be storing the documents in this folder and data is stored in DB but we are not capturing the folder ID in DB.

Further more to this request we have a related action wherein user can upload more documents to this folder, so in this scenario the process model of the related action will be having only folder name taken from rf!requestID, so I need to identify the folder by its name so that the further uploaded documents to be stored in the correct folder.

I would recommend to store the folder id against unique id ( requestId in your case) in a separate table. We did the same in our implementation.

Thanks everyone for your response.

I have achieved the requirement with help of my colleague. Here the constant is holding the parent folder whit in which we are creating the new folders for every new request, and rule input is we are passing the folder name that we want to search.

with(
local!allFolderId:tointeger(
folder(tointeger(cons!GOE_UPLOAD_DOCUMENT_FOLDER),"folderChildren")
),
local!folderName:apply(
folder(
folderId :_,
property :"name"
),
local!allFolderId
),
index(
local!allFolderId,
wherecontains(
ri!folderName,
local!folderName
)

)
)
