Hi,

This make far long time, let-me see if i remember.
I think that i put in my custom datalist type the mandatory aspect "categories" like this:


<mandatory-aspects>
              <aspect>cm:taggable</aspect>
              <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>
            </mandatory-aspects>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

And…

on share-config-custom.xml i put:


<field-visibility>
          <show id="cm:taggable" force="true" />
          <show id="cm:categories" />
        </field-visibility>
        <appearance>
          <field id="cm:taggable">
            <control>
              <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
              <control-param name="params">aspect=cm:taggable</control-param>
              <control-param name="createNewItemUri">/api/tag/workspace/SpacesStore</control-param>
              <control-param name="createNewItemIcon">tag</control-param>
            </control>
          </field>
          <field id="cm:categories">
            <control>
              <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
            </control>
          </field>
        </appearance>

I hope that this can help you.
