Hi Team

I have a requirement to accept only content fragments and .json files to be either uploaded or created under /content/dam/<project_name>/subfolder. Other type files to should be restricted

I have checked this page but this can be achieved under /content/dam only.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/admin/configure-asset-upload-restrictions#apply-restrictions-asset-uploadsssssss

Is there way to add file type restrictions under child folders under dam like /content/dam/<project_name>/subfolder

Any advice or guidance please

Thanks in advance.

Hi @prashardan you can try creating a page having 2 fields and a button. The two fields would be: assest upload path and file type. Try writing a servlet which will be called on clicking the upload button. You can get the URL path and file type in it easily and check its validation and return a response depending on the validation and disable the upload button accordingly using AJAX. Use the AssetManager API to upload the asset at the given path if both path and file are correct. Write the logic in a serviceImpl and call it in the servlet in the end. For media assets like pdf and images you can convert them into base64 form.

Thanks for your reply Anil.

Creating a custom workflow and adding a launcher is one way but would like to check is there any other way like repo scripts.

Also with respect to workflow, whenever a file is created or uploaded the launcher will trigger but what if any files are uploaded using a crx/de package.

Thanks in advance.
