I am trying to change one property from my custom content type by clicking on an custom UI Action. The thing is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript. I suppose I need to create a javaScript file in share and a web script and js files in Repo. I have no idea where to put them or how to call the

A good starting point would be adding something like the following to your custom action java class;

static final String SEEDIM_MODEL_1_0_URI = "http://www.seedim.com.au/model/1.0";
//create a qname for your custom property
static final QName MY_ISACTIVE = QName.createQName(SEEDIM_MODEL_1_0_URI, "isActive");
//pass on the nodeRef being act upon, the qname of your custom property and the value you want to set.
nodeService.setProperty(nodeRef, MY_ISACTIVE, true);

By my custom action java class you mean the SetWebFlag class from the tutorial or another class that I should write?

Putting it in EnableWebFlag class would make more sense.

It underlines the nodeRef variable and says nodeRef cannot be resolved to a variable… I tried searching but can't find what is the problem?
This is the EnableWebFlag.java class

import company.model.myModel;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.action.Action;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef;
import org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeService;

public class EnableWebFlag extends SetActiveFlag {
   protected NodeService nodeService;
   @Override
   protected void executeImpl(Action action, NodeRef actionedUponNodeRef) {
      action.setParameterValue(SetEnableFlag.PARAM_ACTIVE, true);
      QName MY_ISACTIVE = QName.createQName(myModel.NAMESPACE_COMPANY_ACTIVE_CONTENT_MODEL, "isActive");
      //pass on the nodeRef being act upon, the qname of your custom property and the value you want to set.
      nodeService.setProperty(nodeRef, MY_ISACTIVE, true);
      super.executeImpl(action, actionedUponNodeRef);
   }
}

I needed to put actionedUponNodeRef instead of nodeRef THANKS A LOT!!!
The two lines worked the miracle needed to complete the action

QName MY_ISACTIVE = QName.createQName(myModel.NAMESPACE_COMPANY_ACTIVE_CONTENT_MODEL, "isActive");
//pass on the nodeRef being act upon, the qname of your custom property and the value you want to set.
nodeService.setProperty(actionedUponNodeRef, MY_ISACTIVE, true);

Thanks,
