[opencms-dev] How to map a property with a xml content element ?

[Alain TOMASIAN]

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your answer.

In fact, I'd like to change the xml content value (that which is mapped with
the Title property) when I change the Title property from the OpenCMS
properties widget in the explorer.

But it seems that is not possible without writing specific code ?

Alain.
