2022.1

In Connect 2018.2 new scripting commands have been added to dynamically set Sheet
Configuration options from within a Control Script. This allows you to set the Duplex mode
dynamically, or do things such as applying a different Master Pages based upon the data, or
omitting empty sides from the last sheet, or single sheets.
The following Control Script sample enables Duplex mode for "Section 1":
let section = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"];
section.sheetConfig.duplex = true;
The following snippet sets the media and the master pages for the all sheet postions of
"Section 1":
let section = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"];
section.sheetConfig.positions.all.media = "My Media";
section.sheetConfig.positions.all.allowContent = AllowContent.ALL_SIDES;
section.sheetConfig.positions.all.masterFront = "My Master Page";
section.sheetConfig.positions.all.masterBack = null;
