The ability to define a component-generator for an association in the configuration was added to the enterprise release of 2.1 so you will need to move to 2.9 to get that feature.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope this helps!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:15:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/upload-file-as-a-new-association/m-p/161573#M115502 gavinc 2008-02-06T09:15:42Z
