The ability to localize constraint values is new to version 4 (see JIRA: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-9514).

You need to add labels for the constraint values in the model for your property. E.g. like this in bpmModel.properties:

listconstraint.bpm_allowedPriority.1=High

Hi Arnold
Thanks for the reply, I am trying to localize the strings as shown in the link http://oss101.com/dm/advancedSearch.png
When I checked bpmModel.xml , I found out that it is for business process model . I got confused over here.
Guidance requested
Thanks

If you add labels for those values in the message bundle associated to the model that defines your Ig namespace, then it should work, if those list properties get their values from a regular LIST constraint in that model.

If you use some other mechanism to get them, i.e. by calling some custom business logic, then you'll probably need a custom labeling mechanism as well, e.g. one that matches labels based on a naming convention (e.g. Ig_nameofparty.Party_A, etc.).

(Note: You can find info on registering the resource bundle here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Registering_a_Model_Resource_Bundle)

Hi Arnold
I guess I have not explained correctly, my problem is not the value in the drop down, my problem is that the label-id which I have defined in "share-config-custom.xml" and in "myModel.properties" is not getting resolved at the advance search option screen as shown with marked/shaded area in the my http://www.oss101.com/dm/advancedSearch.png
the fields which has to be resolved are "lg:nameofparty, lgurpose, lg:governinglaw,lgrgin,lg:category" as shown in the above url
In my "share-config-custom.xml" , I have


<field id="lg:nameofparty(ex.custom:prop)" label-id="assoc.lg_nameofparty" >
<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
</field>
<field id="lg:purpose(ex.custom:prop)" label-id="assoc.lg_purpose"  >
<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
</field>
<field id="lg:governinglaw(ex.custom:prop)"  label-id="assoc.lg_governinglaw">
<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
</field>
<field id="lg:orgin(ex.custom:prop)" label-id="assoc.lg_orgin" >
<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
</field>
<field id="lg:category(ex.custom:prop)" label-id="assoc.lg_category" >
<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectone.ftl" />
</field>

Hope I am able to explain it more clearly
Thanks

Ok, sorry, that wasn't clear to me. Looking at the code snippet I think the '(ex.customrop)' suffix won't work.. (at least not on the 4.0.b that I am using…don't know about 4.0.d) Should be just id="lg:nameofparty", etc.

Thanks for the mail
If is only ""lg:nameofparty", I wont be able to display the search option in drop down menu.
please check my former post https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=44362 about the drop down option

Hmm, I don't know this notation of id's and can't find info on it on the wiki. I think mitpatoliya in the other thread might have included it as sample text (i.e. property id = customrop = lg:nameofparty).
If you make the id="lg:nameofparty" then the label-id should work. You can localize the list values in the message bundle, but you can also specify value/label pairs in the form definition on the selectone form control, by setting the 'options' controlparameter. See: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms#selectone.ftl.
In the model you can specify the default value for the list property as well.

Just my two cents, may not apply here. Generally speaking, depending on situation, option values inside the dropdown list

<control .. selectone.ftl" />‍

may be fetched from a resource bundle in a different context to its field label

<field .. label-id= ..>‍

. Eg. the select option values could come from a resource bundle in Alfresco's Spring context if EnumParameterConstraint is used while the actual label could come from a resource bundle sitting in Share's Spring context.
