Hi everybody,I'm still using Alfresco 3.0 for customization reasons, but I'd like to import the new Data Lists component.Is it possible, even with some Java classes update?Data Lists uses a lot some new forms functionalities and new model definitions I've never seen in Alfresco 3.0.Thank you!

There have been huge changes in common code & APIs between 3.0 and 3.3, so I suspect you'd have all sorts of problems trying to do this, whilst keeping existing functionality working. I would say it's "very impractical" if not "impossible".

You're time would be much better spent upgrading your customisations - then you can also benefit from all the bug fixes that have gone in too.

Thanks,
Mike

I guess you're totally right.
Thank you for helping me not to waste a lot of time!
