No automatic selection of the highest Content Type with manual upload

2 votes

When you manually upload a document you get the form to fill in the Content Type and other metadata. This form automatically selects the highest Content Type listed. It would be nice if no Content Type was automatically selected. That way users are forced to pick a Content Type themselves and make a conscious choice what Content Type is suitable for the document.

Hi Michiel,

after checking, this is unfortunately not possible since a record always has to be selected. We will implement that the system recognizes for your own user, which content type was selected last for that area and then pre-select it. Since a lot of content types will be frequently reused, there is a lower margin of error that way.

Best regards

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the consideration and checking if this was possible to implement.
Your suggestion should atleast lower the margin of error a bit and is appreciated.

Kind regards,
