Was also wondering about this, since it's easy to just press cancel at the "modify custom properties screen". The file will still be uploaded but the user didnt even enter the custom mandatory properties.

Have you found a solution yet? We face here the same problem.
A possible solution could be to overide add-content-dialog.jsp and use some beans extending AddContentDialog.java which correspond to my custom types. I could then reference those beans in my custom add-content-dialog-custom.jsp. It would mean I can display and save those properties during the wizard, but I have to implement validation, saving etc myself. I would really prefer a "standard" solution e.g. by configuring alfresco.

The link above was very useful. The problem i have now is after selecting the Content Type that I have create. I want it to automatically select or link it to the aspect so that Metadata form fields will be generated based on the content type. E.g I have an Aspect called Test Aspect, which has three fields. and on the upload screen I have Test Content Type as the Content type. Now i want the Test Aspect to be selected automatically if the Test Content Type was selected on the upload screen.

Thanks,
