The easiest solution would be the configuration of an inbound rule that examines the space structure and will set the properties. However, I experienced performance issues with rules, so it depends on the use case if the rule approach will work for you.

I tend to use the behavior hooks to do something like this. They are more complicated, Java only, not that well documented, but perform much better. That's what I'm after

Thanks for your reply Lothar, to be honest I know nothing about behaviours. Do you know if there is any easy example to start with?. Nut in the other hands the words "Java Only" are music for me!!! I'm a bit fed up with XML configurations …

Check out the policy component at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Policy_Component and various implementations that come with Alfresco.

Check out the Records Management from the Alfresco subversion repository. It has a great example of how to use behaviours to inherit properties from parent spaces. You won't need to write any java code.

1. Define behaviour to bind to "onCreateNode".
2. Run Javascript to look up properties from parent space and update current space / content. NB: Javascript means you can update business logic easily without requiring to re-compile and deploy code.
