You seem to have made your aspect mandatory. This means it always gets added automatically to documents of type myCustom:docContentType when they are created. If thats what you want you should not need a rule, but you will get the aspects on all documents of type myCustom:docContentType regardless of the folder they are in.

If you want the aspect only on documents in the folder, do not make it a mandatory aspect.

I'm not immediately sure why it isn't on your list but you have not given your aspect a title so it is possible that Alfresco just won't list it until you do. Your model definintion should look like


   <aspects>
      <aspect name="???????">
         <title>Description you want to display here</title>
         <properties>
                        …….
                        </properties>
                 </aspect>
        </aspects>
