Won't I have to, essentially, recreate the types (and create extra work and maintenance)? I feel like I'm missing something important here…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ted Stresen-Reuter</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Sat, 25 Apr 2015 11:46:07 GMT tedmasterweb 2015-04-25T11:46:07Z Single Master Content Type for Content Model https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/single-master-content-type-for-content-model/m-p/309823#M262953 In Jeff Potts' &lt;a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html#creating-a-custom-content-model"&gt;Content Model Tutorial&lt;/a&gt;, he seems to suggest using a custom content type from which all of your own content types will inherit as a way t Sat, 25 Apr 2015 11:46:07 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/single-master-content-type-for-content-model/m-p/309823#M262953 tedmasterweb 2015-04-25T11:46:07Z Re: Single Master Content Type for Content Model https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/single-master-content-type-for-content-model/m-p/309824#M262954 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I understand you correctly, you custom types will not lose any of the parent type properties. Say you have a custom type (invoice) which the parent is "cm:content"; which has amongst other properties "cm:modified". Now you "invoice" type will by default inherit "cm:content" properties and you custom properties will be attached. So in effect no extra coding; however in your form config "share-config.xml" you will have to explicitly list all properties for them to appear when document properties is invoked.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope this helps.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 May 2015 13:23:02 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/single-master-content-type-for-content-model/m-p/309824#M262954 darkredd 2015-05-12T13:23:02Z
