If you want to edit a rule and it's associated action in Explorer ,the rule's action must be composite action.

You can modify createVersionableRule() and wrap your action into a composite action.


   Action compositeAction = new Action();
         compositeAction.setActionName("composite-action");
      
         Action action = new Action();

         action.setActionName("add-features");
         Condition[] conditions = new Condition[1];
         Condition condition = new Condition();
         condition.setConditionName("no-condition");
         conditions[0] = condition;
         action.setConditions(conditions);
         NamedValue namedValue = new NamedValue();
         namedValue.setName("aspect-name");
         namedValue.setValue(Constants.ASPECT_VERSIONABLE);
         NamedValue[] namedValues = new NamedValue[1];
         namedValues[0] = namedValue;
         action.setParameters(namedValues);
         
         Action actions[]= new Action[1];
         actions[0]=action;
         
         compositeAction.setActions(actions);
         Rule[] rules = new Rule[1];
         Rule rule = new Rule();
         rule.setAction(compositeAction);
         rule.setTitle("Add versionable aspect");
         rule.setDescription("Add the versionable aspect to all the items inthe space");

Thanks,

that worked; but it only apply the rule on the /app:company_home folder but i want to inherit that rule on children folder as well.

Any idea how to do that ?

Alfresco rule has a property named "isAppliedToChildren " which indicates whether this rule should be applied to the children.But it seems alfresco native webservice dose not expose it .So you cann't make a rule applied to the children through webservice.
You can use webscript api.

yes thats seems to be the issue; i have updated the alfresco webservice code to handle this.

Thanks again.
