That's not possible.

Alternatives are:
1) Define an aspect containing the address properties and attach to any existing node (not too good for supporting multiples)
2) Define a type containing the address properties and create child nodes (good for supporting multiples)

Hi David,

I don't know how to create child nodes. I tried to insert this code in my exampleModel.xml, but this provoces an error when I start alfresco.

exampleModel.xml :

…
<types>
      <type name="my:address">
         <title>My type Address</title>
         <properties>      
               <property name="my:propStreet">
                      <type>d:text</type>
               </property>      
               <property name="my:propNumber">
                 <type>d:int</type>
               </property>                  
               <property name="my:propZipCode">
                 <type>d:int</type>
               </property>
         </properties> 
      </type>

 <!– Definition of new Content Type: SOP –>
      <type name="my:sop">
         <title>My new sop</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="my:authorisedBy">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="my:childAddress">
               <type>my:address</type>
               <multiple>true</multiple>
            </property>                     
         </properties>
       </type>

</types>
…‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Could you, please, provide me with more details about how to achieve the second alternative?

Define a type containing the address properties and create child nodes

Very grateful for your feedback!
