Hi I wish to create my own custom metadata as a triplet and repeat it N times in the same node. Thanks to the dictionnary guide I see I can create some custom datas. But what I miss is: can I repeat these datas as many times I want in the same node ? I have a triplet {amount, Name, SomeText} I want

I see I get no answers, so I precise, maybe it will help

I have an array {amount, Name, SomeText} I wish to add n times this array to a node.

MyNode->{ {amount, Name, SomeText},{amount, Name, SomeText},                  {amount, Name, SomeText},{amount, Name, SomeText},…}

If someone could tell me if I can do it or point me a documentation place where I can find it.

   Thanks !!!

There isn't native support for storing triplets against a node, but you could define your triplet as another type (i.e. a type with three properties) and then define an association to this type.

The Data Dictionary Guide located at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide gives info on how to define types and associations.
