HelloI am looking into the latest 1.1 releaseIs it possible to have a customised metadata taking its values from a predefined list of values. The same way that "Content Type" attribute works.Also can I mark customised metadata as mandatory? Ideally I would like the new customised metadata to appear

Hi,

Yes is the short answer. There are JIRA bugs raised for all the points you raise here.

http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AWC-99
http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AWC-188
http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AWC-202

To get the customised metadata you would have to define a custom control in the configuration for the property, this is covered by AWC-99.

Mandatory property enforcement is covered by AWC-202 and AWC-188 is about making sure custom properties and properties belonging to aspects that may be added are prompted for.

Hi Gavin and thank you for your reply.
Any idea when the above may be released.

I was actually thinking to try and implement some of the functionality creating my own JSPs but if they will be released soon I could wait.

Regards

I would hope that all the issues are resolved in the first quarter of next year.

If all goes well some of them may appear in the 1.2 release early next year.
