Hi,

In Share the "create-content" page uses the form-service with kind "type" (mode create). In the form-configuration of 'cm:content' type I saw that definition of kind "type" forms (on create, with nodeType as parameter) is not the same like kind "node" form (on editing, with nodeRef as parameter).

For kind "node" use:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:CustomType">‍

For kind "type" use:

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my:CustomType">‍

Note: This works for my custom type in Alfresco Enterprise Share 3.3. I don't know in which versions this feature is avaiable.

Sincerely,
decla

Thanks

Forgot about the "model-type" in the config.
