Changes on Folder Properties

ghulls — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:54:23 GMT

Alfresco 6.2 question.

Hello -

Is there a way to add properties to a group of existing folders that reside at the same level. e.g.. If the root folder is Claims and its subfolders are Patient folders, I would like to add 2 properties ( date and boolean flag ) to every Patient folder under claims ? ( note that each Patient folder holds all docs for that patient )

Please and thanks,
Glenn.

You can add properties on any folder if you define those in aspects. You can also do bulk changes via scripting (e.g. by using the JavaScript Console) or other, programmatic means (e.g. implementing custom web scripts / actions).
