Is there a way to limit the mimetype on custom data types?

Hello,

I appologize if I missed this somewhere, but I did search through both wiki and forums. 

1) Is it possible to create a data type that only allows plain text as content? 

2) Yes I can limit available options in drop-down of Web Client.  However, it seems that can only be done for all data types.  Is it possible to make that drop down data type independent (or better yet, disable it if certain data types are selected)?

Any related links are appreciated!  Thank You.

Hi,

Unfortunately you can't do either of the things you ask out-of-the-box, however, it wouldn't be too hard to customise the client to have this behaviour.

It sounds like you'll need to customise the create content wizard at the very least, here's a link to get you started: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Customising_The_Create_Content_Wizard, the other customisation examples may also help: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_Guide
