Is it possible to refresh fields of a word document with Office.js?

I have word documents with fields that display the value of custom document properties as such:

`{ DOCPROPERTY example \* MERGEFORMAT }`

Whenever my custom property is modified, in order for the changes to be displayed in my document, I need to select the field(s) and right-click -> update them. I was wondering if office.js had anything that would help me automatically update fields in my document.

  • There is no API to do this currently. But it is an excellent idea. Please suggest it at Office Developer Suggestion Box.
