You have to use the ActionService and you have to execute the specialise-type action with a parameter for the target type:


Action action = new Action();
action.setActionName("specialise-type");
NamedValue[] actionParameters = new NamedValue[]{new NamedValue("type-name", false, "YOUR_CUSTOM_CONTENT_TYPE", null)};
action.setParameters(actionParameters);
WebServiceFactory.getActionService().executeActions(predicate, new Action[]{action});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps.

Hi OpenPj and every body, as I know YOUR_CUSTOM_CONTENT_TYPE is the string value of variable, with name of this variable is type-name in our action. Am i right ?
So, if type-name is noderef type(example in mail action), how i set value for it ?
I really disturbed.
Sorry if my question botthers you !
