How are you setting the type to "ID Index test"? Every content upload to Alfresco Share (by default) is using default type (like cm:content).

And when/how you set this type to the nodes in the folder?

You need to set that type explicitelly.

Hi, When i upload file to this and setup type (ID_index_test) to node(file) the property does not update automatically but when i go to manage rule of this folder I clicked on run rules for this folder my property was updated by my action.

so i think the rule is correct setting. but the background job not run in automatically ? Do you have any idea to check it?

That is working as expected.

The condition you're setting is fired everytime a content of type ID_index_test is created on the folder.

However, you're uploading a file that is set automatically to cm:content type. After that, once the file has been created, you set the type to ID_index_test. This is why the rule is not fired. When you click on "apply the rule", the type is set and the rule is fired.

I got the solution!!

I try change content of type or sub-type to content instead of ID_index_test

Then when upload file to this folder I change the type to ID_index_test the value of test:num already assigned to 999888 in automatically

Thanks angelborroy

Hi, I'm in trouble with the same issue.

This is my rule:

When I upload a file nothing happens automatically but if I run manually the rule, it works!

May you please help?

Kind regards.
