You can configure this on web-client-config-custom.xml, and you can choose if you want your custom property shown in editor too:


<alfresco-config>
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="name" show-in-edit-mode="false" />
         <show-property name="mimetype" display-label-id="mimetype" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.MimeTypeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="true" />
         <show-property name="title" show-in-edit-mode="true" />
         <show-property name="description" show-in-edit-mode="true" />
         <show-property name="size" display-label-id="size" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.ByteSizeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="true" />
         
         <show-property name="cm:myprop"  show-in-edit-mode="true" />
         <show-property name="cm:myprop2"  show-in-edit-mode="true" />
        etc….

      </property-sheet>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

But you must to add this value parameter on custom-web-client-application-context.xml:


<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml</value>
‍‍‍

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Now I am able to input custom properties when creating content. When I click on Actions -> View Details the custom properties are shown.
But how can I add custom properties in general item view (list of items (contents) in some space). In this view I can only see default properties: name, description, size, created, modified and actions.

Thank you for your help,

Jani
