    Feature Request - Allow Multiple Doctypes

    First off, thank you for creating such an awesome package. We have been using Archetype for most of our recent projects and there are some instances where it is either overkill, or doesn't support datatypes that we'd like to use such as image upload. One place is does shine is the ability to define different fieldset types to choose from when adding content to the control.

    All this said, would it be possible to do something similar with Nested Content so that when you are defining the datatype you could add several different doctypes, rather than just selecting one from the dropdown? On the editor end they'd then be able to select which one to use when clicking add.

    I know this would complicate looping the items, so developers would have to add case statements to handle different doctypes coming back, but adding this ability would make it a true replacement for Archetype.

    Thanks again for the great package.

    Hi Joshua,

    Image Upload wont work - this is due to how the Upload control itself handles the image file on the server-side, (not much we can do about that within Nested Content).

    re: Multiple DocTypes - a feature request has been raised for this. Feel free to chime in any ideas over on GitHub:

    Cheers,

    In the meantime, an alternative workaround (that would work right now), could be to have a single-column Grid, and use the Doc Type Grid Editor?

    Awesome, thanks for the quick response. I'll checkout Git and the Doc Type Grid Editor.
