So just by content modelling, I don't think so.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>There's an alternative option, using a simple Behaviour, where you could programmatically set the color property value of newly created nodes of this type to red and blue (obviously be sure to only set the values if the property is null) - </SPAN><A href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/references/dev-extension-points-behaviors.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/references/dev-extension-points-behaviors.html</A><SPAN>&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Steven</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 30 May 2016 15:55:38 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/multi-valued-default/m-p/298865#M251995 steven_okennedy 2016-05-30T15:55:38Z
