Adding child iteration as first child?

Andy Berner (61●12●7) | asked Apr 23 '11, 5:21 p.m.

To add a child iteration, there are two methods: IIteration::addChild(IIteration newChild) which creates a new iteration as the last child, and IIteration.insertChildAfter(IIteration newChild, IIteration afterThis) (actually, I'm not sure of the order of the parameters).

How do you add a child as the FIRST child of an iteration if there are already other children? I found out how to do it in the GUI---you pick the parent as the "new parent" rather than using the sibling function. But how do you do it through the Java api?

Just taking a guess, have you tried passing in a null parameter for
afterThis?

The javadoc supports Geoff's guess:

"If the anchor is
* <code>null</code> the element is added at the beginning of the list.
*
* @param child a handle for the new child
* @param anchor the current child
"
If this method is not adding the anchor correctly, please file a defect against the Process component so we can look into it.
