How to set a parameterized type for a folder

[k-spit]

Hi guys,

how can I achieve to set parameterized properties for every file that is dropped new into a folder.

So I want to add some properties to files, which are dropped into that folder.

Im creating these types right now with the admin console. But I have to change the type for every file.

How can I automate this ?

Thanks

You can implement it using rule and actions,about how to create rules and run actions please refer to

Hi:

Setting a content rule (without developing) in the given folder, you can specialize type for every content added, for example. You can also, execute a javascript code in this rule, for specializase and setting some values for your custom type properties too.

Rule actions | Alfresco Documentation

A custom content behaviour can be another option:
