Show the type of a node

[acarpine]

Ever since I started working with Alfresco I suffered from the lack of a property that expresses the type of node to end users.
To overcome this problem I thought to add a behavior which is triggered after the user specializes the type of a node. This behavior could sets a custom property ns:type to show in the user interfaces.

Do you think is a sensible approach?

Thanks,

I think you can use the existing type directly by showing it in UI.
there is no need to have extra property.
You can get the type of document easily from some nodeservice APIs which you can show on UI

Hi mitpatoliya and thanks for your reply.
UI forms are typically used to show property values, could you show me an example where you show a value without have the relative property?

thanks,
