I'm trying to add a custom model to my alfresco server using an XML model definition file, however every time I try to activate the model it gives the message "could not update details".I imagine the issue is something to do with how I've written it, but I've based it on the version found on the Jef

You have entered the incorrect metamodel sequence for property element. To get information on that visit http://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/metadata-model-props.html

Replace the code in aspect.

<aspect name="tst:current">
                  <title>Active Document</title>
                  <properties>
                        <property name="tst:currentVersion">
                              <type>d:boolean</type>

     <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                              <default>true</default>
</property>
                  </properties>
            </aspect>

thanks, also I can't seem to find the answer, but can you give a type a mandatory aspect that is outlined in the same document? (i.e setting tst:current as mandatory for tst:doc)

<type name="tst:doc">
<title>Test Document</title>
<parent>cm:content</parent>

<mandatory-aspects>

<aspect>tst:current</aspect>

</mandatory-aspects>

</type>

thanks, I had tried that, but it seems I'd been using the version with <default> in the wrong place....
