Association Datalist - Document

Hi guys, In a project in Alfresco / Share, I would like to insert into a document an association of one or more elements from a datalist, but the result I get does not allow me to select the items of the datalist because I just get the values of the id.My model is<type name="bcp:rubrica">

Unfortunately datalist items are named based on a unique ID rather than the name that you give to the datalist item. This is so that you don't run into issues with duplicate names, because Alfreso does not allow two items with the same name to exist in the same folder. My suggestion would be to create a custom association.ftl control. Because the association.ftl control calls the picker javascript component, you'd need to modify that component to display the correct field, rather than the cm:name of the node.

Another option is that if you're OK with not being able to create duplicates, you could write a behavior that automatically renames your datalist items when they're created so that they have a human-readable name instead of an ID.

Thank Parzgnat

I have followed your suggestion and I used the name [cm: name] whereas in my book there are no duplicates.

How do I select items in the phonebook?

In fact, the symbol "+" to select the users is not shown.
