Sure, i forget to say that i searched wiki, forums and the web

Maybe i missed something but i don't think! I made a search about "propertyOverrides" "overrides" etc.

And nothing about how to use the overrides part…

Thanks,

Yannick

An example:

 <type>
   …
  <overrides>

                <property name="cm:name">
                    <default>fred</default>
                </property>

  </overrides>
   …
 </type>

You must override a property that already exists in the parent hierarchy. You can override the default value, whether it's mandatory (only make it mandatory, not optional), and constraints.

I really thank you! It works now…

My fault was that in the schema there is


<propertyOverrides>
…
</propertyOverrides>
‍‍‍‍‍

and this is useless!

Thanks for your help!
