Does anyone know of a way of changing the system property types from text tomultivalue lists? I would like the default Author to appear when checkingin a document but then also a list of selectable values available in casethe Author property is empty.
I can see how to add a new property type to the profile and make it amultivalue list, but not any of the system properties. I would say that ifthis is possible at all, you have to delve into development-land andcustomize Sharepoint's code. That's not something I can help with.
While I have not looked at this, I wonder if you were to customize this, whatwould it break? The Authors property is a property that is used in thepromotion/demotion of Office documents. I would suggest that you tread down thispatch carefully.
