If i understand correctly you want to have a list of the Ids of the lifecycle definitions? in that case this is the right code:

$vault.LifeCycleService.GetAllLifeCycleDefinitions()

Hello, 

here is the sample code: 

#gets all children without the parent folder
$folders = $vault.DocumentService.GetFoldersByParentId(<parentFolderId>, $true)

#loops through all folders and changes lifecycle definition and state
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
    if ($folder.Cat.CatName -eq "<CategoryName>") {
        $vault.DocumentServiceExtensions.UpdateFolderLifeCycleDefinitions($folder.Id, <NewLifecycleDefId>, <NewStateId>, <commentcanbe$null>)
    }
}

Kind regards,

Hello,

Yes it is possible to change LifeCycleDefinition with the Vault API, with 

$vault.DocumentServiceExtensions.UpdateFolderLifeCycleDefinitions()    The parameters for this are the folder ids, the new LifecycleDefinition, the New State

you can get the categories with Cat.CatName and the folders with $vault.DocumentService.GetFoldersByParentId(parentfolderId, bool recurse)

Hello,

To change the folder properties using powershell you need the folder id and the id of the property you want to change.

Then you need to define a PropInstParam Object and add the parameter .PropDefId and .Val.

After that you need to define a PropInstParamArray and add your PropInstParam Object.

Finally update the folder properties using folder id and the Array as parameters. Please see the attached code sample.

Note that this only works with user defined properties.
