Hi,

Maybe you can use rules.

Define a rules on the parent folder to "Specialise type"

You can also write a small JS file that will be called by the rule that do the same thing.

Hi:

A very nice addon may be used for a similar proposal too (defining custom upload folders):

GitHub - softwareloop/uploader-plus: An Alfresco uploader that prompts for metadata

Hi,

You can create a rule on a folder to change a type of a documents when they are created or added to a folder.

In order to create such rule the most simple way is to create JavaScript file (.js) that contains a following code

var myAction = actions.create("specialise-type");
myAction.parameters["type-name"] = "{<url of your namespace>}<prefix>";
myAction.execute(document);

Place this this .js file at "Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts" folder in your repository. Ensure the mimetype is JavaScript. Create a rule on required folders. While defining a rule , select when "items are created or entered in this folder" and in perform action select "Execute script". Select the JS file you created.

Thanks,

Kalpesh

Kalpesh Patel‌ You can use this even shorter version:

document.specializeType("type-name");
