create space which has mandatory properties

[ut_jorgeluna]

Hello,
I am new to developing alfresco applications and am running into a problem which is described to an extent in this ticket:
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-686
I have basically created a new space type.  I am not able to use the advanced space wizard to create this space after adding mandatory properties since there is no place in this wizard for adding properties.  I would like to know if somebody could suggest an approach I could take for providing users of the alfresco explorer a way to create this space.  

-One option would be as described in the above jira ticket but that looks like functionality which is not going to be added to the client.
-Another option would be to create a new wizard maybe, or just a dialog to create this space.  I would like some suggestions on what the best practice would be in this instance. 

Thanks in advance.

I am proceeding with the approach of creating a custom wizard for adding folders which will take into account required properties.  I would think that this is pretty common for users to want to extend the content model by adding mandatory metadata to content or folders.   I am wondering why this functionality is not implemented by default in the create content or space wizards.  I will post update once I have my new wizard working.
