This could be your solution

Hey Dennis,

Big thanks for your quick reply, highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Although I do understand from this topic that my solution won't be available 'out-of-the-box'.

Therefore, my current thinking is that I would need to create some coding to follow below reasoning:

1) User creates doctype 'NewsArea'

2) Code checks if a doctype with 'NewsArea' already exists

3A) If it already exists, popup appears telling user that he/she can only create one NewsArea

3B) If doesn't exist already, then there is no problem and a new NewsArea will be created

Any idea on how I can tackle the above via code ?

Thanks!

Manu

Should allow you to hook into the before_save or publish or where ever your logic needs.. (eg you might want the user to be able to create multiple.. but only have one published at a time as an alternative)
