my goal is to achieve below mentioned tasks:

like a new photoshoot project , authors should be able to create 4 new types of projects.Each project type will have different metadata attributes.right now all projects only get due date, users, title and description only.What if I want to add few more atributes/fields to select.What should be approach for this?which component will I have to extend.

Once a custom project type project is created - custom tiles should appear to select from along with workflows,tasks etc.

How do I achieve these customizations.

Regards,

Allhad

"authors should be able to create 4 new types of projects"

AEM authors do not typically create AEM projects. They are created by AEM developers using Maven Archetypes. For example:

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. I asked my team members to look at this thread too.

Thanks you for reply Scott.

I am talking about projects wizard in AEM and doing some customizations around the same .

Attaching the images of the project creation screen and new tile creation screenshot for reference, may be it will give more details about what I am saying.

OK - that is an interesting use case. There is no community article on this use case. I will ask within Adobe to see if anyone has done this.
