Web client support for subclasses of cm:folder

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

In much the same way that I can subclass from cm:content to create new kinds of content (with new metadata), I would like to be able to subclass from cm:folder to create new kinds of containers.

But currently, the UI for creating spaces does not ask for the type of space to be created.

Will this likely change in the future?

I suspect my best bet for now is to create a custom aspect with the metadata I desire, to apply that aspect to a space, and then to turn that space into a template.  Then, any spaces created from that template will automatically have that aspect, and thus, the metadata fields I want.

Does that make sense?  Does anyone have a better way to achieve my goals?


Thanks in advance for any replies.

Related, I tried to build an association and I failed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <aspect name="my:Project">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <title>Project Aspect</title>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <associations>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <association name="my:ProjectContains">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <title>Uses Document</title>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <description>Project uses Document</description>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <source>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <mandatory>false</mandatory>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <many>true</many>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </source>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <target>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <class>my:document</class>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <mandatory>false</mandatory>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <many>true</many>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </target>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </association>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </associations>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </aspect>

From what I can gather, this enables a many-to-many mapping between myroject and my:document.  Am I missing something?

Provided that I get this working, does the web client support association links?
