Hello,

judging from the log I would say that "mandatory aspect" is working fine in multi-tenancy, i.e. the aspect is required and validation fails if it is not applied. Now the real question is why it is not applied to that specific node upon bootstrapping the tenant. It is definitely being applied to the majority (if not all) of the other nodes (otherwise they would be listed as "integrity violations" as well). Something must be different for that mail template that causes the problem - unfortunately I dont have a idea about what that may be at the moment.

Are you sure you want all content to be versionable? Are there some business specific document types (subtypes of content) that you could make versionable instead? Making everything versionable puts more strain on system resources / performance (even temporary files / renditions will need to be versioned).

Axel

yes we want everything to be versionable but not the system's documents like email templates and other stuff;

do you have any other workaround for this ?

its strange that in the docs its not mentioned related to MT

Hello,

you may also use rules to make user documents versionable without forcing system documents to be versionable. If you are "only" working within Sites you might set up a rule on the "Sites" folder, have it act on "items created" that are of type "cm:content" and have that rule execute "Add Aspect" for "cm:versionable". That way you can even differentiate between tenants in a MT environment - perhaps some tenants do not need to have versionable documents.

Hello,

NOT on company home IF you are working only within sites, because this would again include the data dictionary and its system files. The rule would be applied on the "Sites" folder. IF you are working in sites AND the repository, you could add the same rule on the root folders of the repository locations that users work in.
