Dynamically Creating Repository Objects

With the VLF tooling you can invoke the Program Coding Assistant and have it generate code AND create the repository objects for you.
Is there a way to create those objects myself? I assume there is because the VLF tool does whether that is exposed or available to us and how to do it is the question.

For example, in the VLF PCA there is the "Create" button.

custom pca.png (64.37 KiB) Viewed 5177 times
I have created my own PCA that generates a skeleton base that is unique to our environment and I would like to be able to create the objects as well.

I can copy and paste over the components that I have created manually, but it would be really nice to be able to create them automatically.
Any thoughts or ideas on how I can go about this or if its even doable?

Thanks,
Joe

Lansa Lpc has given this capability to a few partners. It should be an open Api IMO.

Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have available.

If I were using a VCS setup, I could easily create the file, its a simple YAML file, and have it imported into the repo.
