Ok I've solved in this way. Maybe it's not so elegant, but it's easy and it works :wink:
I've used a rule, a script and the cm:attachable aspect borrowed and adapted from datalist model.
In the form definition I've put the UI for picking the destination space (using associations.ftl template).
The new folder is stored in a default temporary space and the rule is fired. The rule execute a script which moves the new folder to the target space with document.move(target); the target is taken from the association property of the aspect (which is filled by the previous destination space picker). Finally, the script nullify the association property.
Hope this can help other folks.
Cheers,
Roberto
