Hello,

what you are trying to do is define a completely new aspect (not just use one). According to the <a href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.1/os/CMIS-v1.1-os.html#x1-7400010">CMIS spec</a> this is an optional feature and as far as I know, Alfresco does not support it. You can only define new aspects / types using the standard Alfresco customization paths by bootstrapping model definition files via classpath or the dynamic model registry in /Data Dictionary/Models

Regards
Axel

That's unfortunate, would you happen to know if Alfresco supports updating an existing secondary type/aspect then?

Not via CMIS.
