How to add library definition to cds.lib.user instead of cds.lib, when the library is created from library manager?

Hi,

I want to create a library from library manager in virtuoso.When I'm creating this from File>New>Library , the library definition is being added to cds.lib file. I want to change this behavior and make it to update lib definition in other file(eg: cds.lib.user). How to do this?

For some reasons, we don't have permissions to update cds.lib file from workarea.

Thanks,
Bala

    Thanks for the solution Andrew.

    In the provided solution, ddSetForcedLib(stringValue) is being set. I'm thinking to put post and pre library creation triggers.
    pre lib creation trigger: ddSetForcedLib("cds.lib.user")
    post lib creation trigger: ddSetForcedLib("")
    Hopefully, that will work.
