I started up Alfresco, no issues what so ever. I have the proper constraint reference markup in the file also (not shown) so that's working as well. After retarting Alfresco I noticed that the List constraint I want on a property doesn't exist. The solution is include </SPAN><STRONG>type="LIST"</STRONG><SPAN> in the </SPAN><STRONG>&lt;constraint&gt; tag.</STRONG><SPAN> That's fine, but shouldn't the schema have picked up on the fact I missed decalring a type? Since out of all four constraints Alfresco uses you're always meant to define a</SPAN><STRONG> type.</STRONG><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It's possible that like some options in data modelling, not declaring elements usually means they're set up with default settings that are invisible to the user, but I would've thought that something like constraint type would be something mandatory. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>At first I thought it's possible that the Notepad++ plugin I was using was a bit faulty, so I tried this validator (</SPAN><A href="http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate</A><SPAN>) but again got a validated xml document.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:18:09 GMT bengrah 2010-10-20T09:18:09Z Incorrect schema validation on <constraints>? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/incorrect-schema-validation-on-lt-constraints-gt/m-p/236698#M189828 Hi allI've been doing some custom data modelling using constraints, using Notepad++'s XML plugins to validate markup on it's own and against the modelSchema.xsd file found in WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model and noticed some behaviour I'm not sure is correct.I have the following in my custom data mode Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:18:09 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/incorrect-schema-validation-on-lt-constraints-gt/m-p/236698#M189828 bengrah 2010-10-20T09:18:09Z Re: Incorrect schema validation on <constraints>? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/incorrect-schema-validation-on-lt-constraints-gt/m-p/236699#M189829 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, you need to provide a "type" attribute for defined (re-usable) constraints. Please note, in the case of inline constraints, you can either provide a "type" or a "ref" (reference to defined constraint) attribute and no "name" attribute.
