Hi
While uploading documents in the document library, in the UPLOAD window, rite now TAGS is free form , can this be modified so that user can choose only the predefined list of tags ? If so detailed step by step explanation would help..i am a newbie to ALFRESCO

I'm slightly confused: the upload dialog doesn't have a tag picker.

If you mean the "Edit Metadata" pop-up, then you could change Share so that the Edit Metadata action took the user directly to the "Full Edit Metadata" page where the tag picker doesn't currently have the ability to create new tags. That is something that we'll fix in v3.3 though, so would only be a temporary solution.

To do that, override the documentlist.get.config.xml to replace:

<action type="action-link" id="onActionDetails" permission="edit" label="actions.document.edit-metadata" />‍

with

<action type="simple-link" id="onActionDetails" permission="edit" href="{editMetadataUrl}" label="actions.document.edit-metadata" />‍

Thanks,
Mike
