Advanced Search Customization

Dears, I've tried to add a new aspect into Advanced Search dialog additional options where it is a text-based property.The customization looks like <meta-data aspect="sec:tagable" property="sec:associatedTags" />‍‍‍Where the content model definition is <aspect name="sec:tagable">

If you know the values you would like the user to be able to choose from, you can implement that list as a constraint in your content model. Then, when the field is rendered, whether it is being rendered to create or edit the metadata or for advanced search, Alfresco will render it as a dropdown instead of an open choice.

No i don't, the values are dynamic and they are read from the repository.

It is possible to implement dynamic constraints that read values from the repository.

If that's not going to work for you then you'll have to do a UI customization to use a control that works the way you want it to.

Sure, i did.

But the meta-data advanced search tag has not a generator so, the values will not filled in the component.
