Hi Neha,
I already did this in Alfresco 4.x version and you can try the similar stuffs in Alfresco 5.x version.

Hi Neha,

You can use the association tag of the content model definition to define you property that will select a folder without the need to modify the picker.
Here is a snippet of how I use it:

            <association name="mes:replyLocation">
               <title>Document Reply Location</title>
               <source>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>cm:folder</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </target>
            </association>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

By defalut it will show the select button on folders.

Hi DarkRedd,
Thanks for sharing this.
Let me also try this in development environment and if this helps, I will ignore the picker control modification.
