When I create a file with one of the other resource types afterwards, with a chance of around 80%, I get the same content in my html select as I got when creating the first file - the widget (or output of the widget) just seems to be reused, even if a completely different widget is defined in the xsd.

Were you able to find a solution to this?Do you need to edit the
opencms-vfs.xml? We are trying to create a new custom widget to pull
items from the database. Did you just use one of the widget classes
from the opencms source and added the database part. I would
appreciate if you share some codes or points. Thanks.
