I everyone, i just put myself in the world of customize page and template of Alfresco Share, i have succeded to call a backend action with a PageLink extensions but for some reason i can't retrieve a correct form.
In the following case i'm tring to adding a menu item to the "Create..." menu in DocLib and call a action java backend.
I'm start by consulting this link: https://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/tasks/dev-extensions-share-tutorials-add-menuitem-create-menu.html
The only difference is i don't want to use a model-type but instead call a action when i submit the form.
It's hard to explain with word so i put some code and some screenshoot.
I use Alfresco Community 5.2.f and SDK 3.0.0.

The code is done here the screenshot of what i have done on share:
How you can see whe i click on "Create" of share (cirlce red), i have a new option "Create an DOCX text Document"(circle blue).
After i click on that new voice i'm corrected reditrect to the form:
but the form is wrong (how you can see on the screenshot), i cannot set the labels for the inputs, and i don't find any way to manage that with the "/components/form/" webscript.
If i click on the Submit button i'm reach the java action backend like i want, it's jus the form i can't customize or repair in any way.
I'm desperate for find a solution to this.
Ty in advance for any help.

Hi
As per my understanding,according to your requirement calling java backend action is a second step.The very first thing we want here is to redirect to a " create-content " page(in your case it is service-my-create-content-docx page ) of custom type mycc:document.
As you mentioned in your code,in extension module under create-content section, item-id parameter is mycc:document that is a custom type that will be set on your content . Thus you have to configure this form of custom type mycc:document in the same file extension-modules.xml you have configured the pagelink ,inorder to appear in share .And I am unable to see your custom type mycc:document in your code .Have you created this custom type in your content model.These are the possible reasons you are unable to retrieve correct form in share .

I'm very sorry, you are right it was a mistake on my copy and paste of code, iìm actually use the action id like value for the "itemId" parameter because i'm trying to use the "action" for the "itemKind" parameter on the template.
ty for the clarification.
