Configuring the 'Change Type' Document Action

Is updating the types.get.config.xml file with static elements the only way to define available "Change Type" list options?Thanks all,-ryan

If by updating, you mean "overriding using the extension mechanism"… then yes. We do have plans to try and centralize Share configuration in a future release.

Thanks,

that's correct.

I was more interested in the static control over the elements. Is it yet known if there will be a property on content types that will allow its children to be "changeable/selectable"? Or perhaps allow for a webscript to be executed to build the config file, or an individual element group (i.e., <type>…</type>).

Basically, is it known if there will be any way to dynamically inherit or populate the change types?

I'll keep my eye out for the centralized Share configs. thanks for the update!

I believe it will remain a manual configuration for the foreseeable future, as it is for the JSF client today.

Thanks,
