The code below has worked.

<script runat="server">
Platform.Load("Core","1");

try {
Write("start</br>");


  var asset = Platform.Function.CreateObject("Asset");

//Set AssetType (complex property)
var nameIdReference = Platform.Function.CreateObject("nameIdReference");
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(nameIdReference, "Id", 197); //html block type
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(asset, "AssetType", nameIdReference);

//Set Category (complex property) - aka Folder
var categoryNameIdReference = Platform.Function.CreateObject("categoryNameIdReference");
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(categoryNameIdReference, "Id", 69208); //Use the Id value of the desired category (folder)
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(asset, "Category", categoryNameIdReference);

//Set Name, Content, and ContentType (simple text properties)
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(asset, "Name", "SSJS HTML Content Block");
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(asset, "Content", "<div>my new content</div>");
Platform.Function.SetObjectProperty(asset, "ContentType", "text/html");


var statusAndRequest = [0,0];
var response = Platform.Function.InvokeCreate(asset, statusAndRequest, null);

Write(response.toString() + "</br>");
Write(statusAndRequest.toString() + "</br>");
Write("end</br>");

} catch (err) {
Write(Stringify(err) + "</br>");
}
</script>

  • I am not sure Johannes and I think the best way of finding this out is asking this question as a new question to reach others. Maybe someone would help you out :)
