Did you mean "share-config.custom.xml" .
To display Document Type or Aspects, we have to do "share-config-custom.xml".
I had done the additions which are needed to display the search option in text format, what I wanted is that I want an option to have drop down menu option for the fields in the advance search screen

Hi bhavanapb
Thanks for the reply
I have done drop down option for document type properties

"https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=44301"

ie When I fill up the values for Document Types, I use drop down option to chose the values

The same I would like to implement when I do a advanced search, ie instead of typing the document fields, I should be able to select it from drop down option
thanks

Hi John,

If your property has list constrain you can show that in share by adding following tag in your share-config-custom.xml
<field id="property id(ex.customrop)">
               <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
    </field>

this will come under appearance tag.
Also make sure you have added the same id under
            <field-visibility>.
