Thanks for responding, Pedro. Here is the web-client-config-custom.xml. The problem I am having is with the sym:application type which has cm:folder as a parent.

Hi,

In my application I can edit custom properties in my custon folder type. The one difference in both code piece of web-client-config-custom.xml is:

<!– Lists the custom aspect in business rules Action Wizard –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards">
      <specialise-types>
         <type name="sym:application" />
         <type name="sym:toc_item" />
         <type name="sym:document" />
         <type name="sym:author" />
      </specialise-types>
      <aspects>
         <aspect name="sym:documentProperties" />
      </aspects>
      <subtypes>
   <type name="sym:application" />
      </subtypes>
   </config>

Try it

Hi, if your sym:application type is derived from cm:folder (space), why have you set :

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
<content-types>
         <type name="sym:application" />
etc …‍‍‍‍

instead of

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Space Wizards">
<folder-types>
         <type name="sym:application" />‍‍‍

Re: Editing custom properties of content derived from cm:folder

pjcaracuel — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 09:48:18 GMT

This is correct too.

You must write this in web-client-config-custom.xml

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Space Wizards">
      <folder-types>
         <type name="sym:application/>
      </folder-types>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
      <content-types>
         <type name="chemEdDL:content" />
         <type name="sym:document" />
         <type name="sym:author" />
         <type name="sym:toc_item" />
      </content-types>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Pedro,
Thank you for pointing out the errors in my web-client-config-custom file. The corrections did not allow me to edit the properties. The problem was that mandatory properties did not have values. When I fixed this (by making them nonmandatory) I was able to edit the properties.
