>>> Thanks a lot. It was very helpful. I think the workaround is not too difficult and I think the value of having access to that document meta-information is limited for the typical use-cases of a UIExtension, So a JIRA issue would maybe be too much

When providing a new Extension Point the developer must document * the list of parameters he requires. * * @return a map of parameters provided by the extension */ Map getParameters(); /** * @return the {@link Block} that must be rendered when this extension is displayed */ Block execute(); } So as you can see there’s no way to return anything else here. However, when you define your UIX you can pass any number of parameters (which are retrieved through calling getParameters() on UIExtension). So you could have params like: name = $doc.documentReference (or $doc.fullName) title = $doc.title creator = $doc.creatorReference hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference) ...
