Pankaj,

You are trying to change a system type. The COAPI will not let you do this.

In the UserProfile type you have a property called preference, which is a an embedded object type. If you open this type you will see it is a name/value type which can hold any number of dynamic fields you wish to associate to any user.

If you are still determined to add your own property you will need to temporarily change the object to be a non-system object or temporarily change cfa_objectTypeProperty not to check for system objects.

I am trying to add a new property to type "userprofile". In the type designer when I click on the widget to add a new property I don't see an add button. So, I tried

<cfa_objectTypeProperty action = "create" dataSource = "#request.dci.datasource#" typeID = "70E7DFBF-A67E-11D2-B3AC00C04FA35A23" propertyName = "comprevenue" propertyDefinitionID = "968A2611-66B3-11D3-AD4D0060B0EB2994">

But it gave me the following error,

Type update failed Attempt to update a system type 70E7DFBF-A67E-11D2-B3AC00C04FA35A23. The system types cannot be updated. Custom tag stack:

CFA_OBJECTTYPEPROPERTY (error detected)

Is there any other way I can add this new property ? I am working on 1.0.1. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
