Hi --
I was trying to just add another string property, and I did not specify
"mandatory" in my .cnd file, so does that mean it is
non-mandatory?
I did a dump after the re-register, but the new property does not show up
under /jcr:system/jcr:nodeTypes anywhere, and
I cannot seem to set it when I add my node.
Thanks
Betty
