There's nothing to fix. The issue is with the property definition.

Out of the box, cm:companyfax should be a property on cmerson type.

Do you have more details of what has happened?

Hello,

thanks for your answer.

I know that in theory Alfresco handles the bootstrapping of the properties and their types self.

But in my case it doesn't work. I did a call with Alfresco support today, and we figured out an unbelievable thing:

Some users have this property as "not residual" but some as "residual" with very strange property type, which is:
"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/cmis/1.0/cs01}id"

Users are coming throw LDAP system, we tried even to delete them and start the import again, but the companyfax property still remains residual.

Can it be fixed in the database somehow?

Best regards
Vitali

Yes it can be fixed in the DB. However first you need accurate diagnosis of what is going/gone wrong.
