Aspects with combo and multi-select boxes

Is it possible to create an aspect that includes combo and multi-select boxes? Ideally the contents of these would be driven from a user-editable list of some sort.

Hi Grauenwolf,

It is possible to create an aspect that has a property linked to a set of constraints (or your drop down list). But these are not editable by the user via any out of the box format.

The only way that you can let the user do this would be to upload the custom data model you've created that has the constraints for your drop down box into /Data Dictionary/Models, and let your users be able to download edit and upload a new version of the model. Then go to the Properties of the file and select Activate Model.

This would then bootstrap the new updated model with new updated list selections into Alfresco.

hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
Ben.
