Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding selecting nodes in the repository in the GUI:
1) As far as I could see, it is not possible to mark a r:spaceSelector as "required=true". Is there a way to do that?
2) I want the user select a node in the repository, and then I will use that input to set a property of a new node. I am trying to use r:contentSelector for this. Is this the best choice, or is there any other way?

Hi,

1) You can't do required=true on the component but you could check with JavaScript, each spaceSelector component will output a hidden field with the current selection so you can use that to enable/disable the OK/Finish button.

2) r:contentSelector is the onr choice for this. Another way would be to setup an association on your type to cm:content and re-use the assoication editor components. However, both give you a search only approach to finding content. Hopefully this, and the other selectors will be improved in the next release!
