If i select this type and click on OK then it shows success message and also the properties which i have added in the respective model.xml file, are visible in "Edit Properties" page. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So i believe the changes i have made to add additional properties are working fine. The question is when i add new file in the repository i want to change the type of that file to "type.my_ins" through API and then i also want to set the values in those additional properties. How can i do that? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Vikrant Korde</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:12:00 GMT vikrantkorde 2016-01-19T14:12:00Z Change type using API https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280656#M233786 Hi Experts, I have created a custom type as below&lt;type name="my:ins"&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;title&gt;Insurance documents&lt;/title&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;parent&gt;cm:content&lt;/parent&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;properties&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="my:maturityDate"&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;type&gt;d:datetime&lt;/ty Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:12:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280656#M233786 vikrantkorde 2016-01-19T14:12:00Z Re: Change type using API https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280657#M233787 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Screen shot attached</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:13:25 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280657#M233787 vikrantkorde 2016-01-19T14:13:25Z Re: Change type using API https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280658#M233788 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Change Type screen shot</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:13:57 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/change-type-using-api/m-p/280658#M233788 vikrantkorde 2016-01-19T14:13:57Z
